This is delicious. Toasted bread, candied lemon, sage, with bruised quince and cider notes. Beautiful creaminess cuts through pure chenin minerality, while the bubble stays delicate but stimulating. Long finish with just enough bitterness, all wrapped in subtle wood that brings everything together. The profile deceives - this ancestral method sparkler mimics traditional wines with a complexity it "should not" have. Always a success.
This petnat surpasses many entry-level Champagnes, standing out as one of the finest I've tasted. It features a long, slightly bitter finish, rounded with nuances of bruised quince, bakery notes, and cider. Its profile is deceiving, mimicking traditional sparkling wines in complexity and taste.
