Tasting Notes(1)
4.3
Red apples and a super mineral nose - oysters, sea spray. Aromatically it's quite closed, but the palate really surprises: think pear soda with tarragon, florals, and a touch of cream.
It doesn't taste like Champagne at all - very vinous, not at all flashy. Interesting, but also a bit... confusing. In a blind tasting, you'd struggle to call it Champagne, and even less so Pinot Noir.
Complex and thought-provoking, but definitely not for everyone. Still, there's something compelling in how unapologetically it leans into its own character.
