The short take

The fruit stays balanced by moderate acidity, while the citrus-and-apple close is brief.

Tasted Karl HillHow we score

Who it’s for A simple brut when apple, lemon, and a short clean close are enough.

The wine

Record

Apple, pear, and lemon lead, with light floral notes around the fruit. Lively bubbles and moderate acidity keep the palate moving, while a little sweetness rounds it out. The finish is clean but short, carrying citrus and apple only briefly.

Research notes

The vineyard section names an exclusive spinning cone. Fruit is from marine-influenced vineyards in California. The page’s own tasting lines disagree (green apple, pear, and strawberry in one paragraph; green apple, citrus, and brioche in the FAQ). Neither is a tasting here. The FRE page does not print a bottle size.
