Interesting wine but seems to be missing something. Lacking the zip of Champagne, the richness of Pinot Noir, and the finish of limestone. Love his red wines but this just falls a bit short.

Nice tank fermented sparkling wine. Wonderful bread and fruits on the nose. Low acids, but refreshingly bright. A great aperitif.
