Bright, clear, pale gold tints woven with very fine bubbles. The freshness of the Chardonnay, aromas of white flesh fruit such as pears and nectarines, ethereal touches of peony expressed by the Pinot Noir. On the second nose: a spicier range, complexity with aromas of dried apricots and almonds. Roundness and generosity accompany a lovely verticality. Crisp nectarine, notes of honey, saffron and pepper nicely set off by lovely bitters on the finish. Vintage may vary.
