Wow!! Fantastic farmer fizz. Seriously hits all the right Champagne notes for me. Nose is concentrated and generous with rich toasted nuts, fresh croissant, baked yellow apple, and a truckload of crushed chalk. The palate surprises with much more precision than the richer nose might indicate, which I LOVE and makes for a really interesting juxtaposition. Hits you with a heavy dose of crushed chalk, which opens up to lemon meringue and crisp orchard fruit, which then gives way to a yeasty, croissant finish, carried from attack to finish with rippling waves of laser-focused acidity and a fine mousse of bubbles. That fine mousse and skillfully managed lees aging provides some nice body, although it's still very lively and nimble. Just... so fucking tasty. — 9 years ago

Love this wine. I would have guessed huet chenin Blanc blind. Deep, rich and decadent. Tons going on here. Layers upon layers. Honey, apricots, rich lemon meringue, almost like lemons off the grill. This is not a laser beam acidity wine. This covers the entire palate. — 9 years ago

Unbelieveable wine. I've been waiting so long to try these wines and am glad that it was worth the wait. Insanely clean, pure flavors of citrus, almond, lemon meringue and wet stone. Great dimension, weight and intensity. Glad I bought three bottles to see how this will evolve. — 10 years ago
