"70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay . . . . Light gold. Musky orange pith and red berries on the nose, with suave floral and spice accents adding complexity. Juicy, focused and very energetic, offering fresh citrus and red berry flavors and a hint of honeysuckle. Nuttier and more leesy on the finish, which echoes the orange and spice notes. I like this Champagne’s marriage of power and vivacity. "
