| Verdict | Citrus, green apple, pear, and floral on a crisp, fizzy, minerally frame — dry, lemony, clean close. | Green apple, lemon, and white flowers, then a crisp, light, dry-leaning palate with fine bubbles. The finish is clean and short-medium, with citrus left behind. |

| Likeness | Good: reads as sparkling Blanc de Blancs — citrus-apple fruit, bead, and dry clean finish. | It drinks like a light brut: crisp, dry-leaning, fine bubbles, fruit kept to green apple, lemon, and white flowers. |
