Verdict A light, gently fruity sparkler with green apple, pear, and citrus aromas, bright acidity, lively bubbles, and a slightly sweet finish. Jörg Geiger's Blanc de Blanc is organic Chardonnay and Colombard, bottle-fermented and aged two years on the lees before vacuum distillation: brioche, apple,… Research record French alcohol-removed blanc de blancs from Villa à la Mer. The process is published. The glass is a gentle bead and very little flavor.

Likeness Acidity and bubbles give it a sparkling-wine shape; the finish leans slightly sweet rather than dry. Lees-aged blanc de blancs, not fruit soda. Brioche and baked apple over a fine mousse, with a toasty finish that outlasts the fruit. The extra mid-palate weight is what makes it read as wine. Research record It is built as removed wine. It does not taste like blanc de blancs, or like much wine at all.
