Washington Post ★★½
Wow. What a terrific champers for the money. It's an excellent introduction to what makes champagne special, and those already familiar with the genre will appreciate its sophistication. Widely available, it’s the value find of the year.

This Champagne offers an array of flavor, including toasted brioche, Gala apple, lemon zest, graphite and ginger, with a touch of honey. Elegant, but with good intensity and a moderate, nut-tinged finish.

A touch of smokiness and plum fruit on the nose. Lovely lemon and savoury contrast on the palate with a whiff of white pepper, vivid freshness, and resonance.

Tasting notes
The fine bubbles form a large string against a golden background. A fruity nose and delicious, persistent barley sugar and brioche flavors. A very lively wine that is very versatile. This is a bright, easygoing Champagne for any party!
