| Verdict | Citrus, green apple, pear, and floral on a crisp, fizzy, minerally frame — dry, lemony, clean close. | Green apple and peach lead, with gentle oak, mid-palate roundness and bright acidity. Dry and refreshing, with apple and lemon through the finish. |

| Likeness | Good: reads as sparkling Blanc de Blancs — citrus-apple fruit, bead, and dry clean finish. | A recognizable Chardonnay profile: apple and peach, gentle oak, some mid-palate roundness, and a dry finish. |
