winemaker's notes:

Made from 100% Chardonnay, this medium bodied sparkling wine comes alive with crisp flavors of green apple, citrus, and Asian pear. Notes of toast and vanilla result in a clean finish on this exceptional sparkler.

An abundant mousse and enticing aromas of delicate orange blossoms, ripe Graventstein apple, vanilla and brioche announce this elegant Blanc de Blancs. Its full, creamy entry on the palate reveals complex flavors of ripe pear, lemon meringue and hints of white chocolate along with mineral notes that persist on a fresh, lasting, precisely balanced finish.

alcohol by volume: 12.5%

critical acclaim:

"A lovely Blanc de Blancs, bright and satisfying in lime, vanilla and toast flavors, with the yeasty complexity of a fine sparkling wine. Gains extra points for the smooth quality of the bubbles. "

Wine Enthusiast

"A scent of mild toasted wheat carries into the bubbly foam of this wine. The clean apple flavors have some delicacy, finishing tight, simple and fine. Serve it with pan-roasted sand dabs or other mild white fish."

Have been drinking this vintage since it's release. Crisp, great bubbles with nice nose of vanilla and green apples, light an the palate but has a nice rich almost creamy finish. That's what I like in a sparkler. Have visited this winery and always impressed with their love of the product; reflected in what they produce. Also a big fan of the Oudinot Brute NV and this wine compares very favorably at $20-$25 less.

Perfect combination of bubbly with sweetness. Everyone at the wedding raved.
