winemaker's notes:

Yellow appearance with burnished gold reflections. Intense nose of white flowers, citrus and red berries, followed by warmer whiffs of toast and wood. On the palate , ripe lush fruits (vine peaches) and toasty flavours. Dense, fleshy structure. Powerful finish.

I would buy this wine again

This is my personal favorite champagne. It has a nice golden appearance that lets you know that you are in for something special. It has a very pleasant and enjoyable aroma. The taste is fruity and well balanced with a strong finish. If you are looking for a more economical alternative, the Roederer Brut Premier is a great option. However, if you do decide to give this fine champagne a try you definitely won't be disappointed!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
