Tasting notes
-
Nose
Green apple, pear skin, and citrus zest — crisp Chardonnay fruit with a bright citrus edge, clean rather than sweet.
-
Palate
Crisp Chardonnay fruit from the first sip. Green apple and pear skin lead; bright acidity keeps the line taut. Almond and light brioche soften the mid-palate without tipping sweet. Dry through — fruit and acid, not residual sugar.
-
Finish
Dry, smooth, and long — clears into a persistent orchard-fruit and almond edge without sticky hang or sweetness.
The wine
Dry first. The glass is pale and the sip does not soften early — green apple and pear skin open, citrus zest keeps the line sharp, then almond and a light brioche note cushion the mid-palate without tipping sweet. What carries eighty-nine is the close: dry, smooth, and long enough to feel like serious sparkling rather than a short fruit flick.
Bright acidity holds. Fine bead, taut fruit, no candy mid-palate. Chardonnay logic shows in the glass — orchard fruit, nutty edge, brioche lift — without needing residual sugar to fill the frame. The finish stretches. That is rare in the category and the reason the score sticks.
It will not give you Champagne yeast weight or deep toast. It gives you dry Chardonnay length and clarity — green apple that stays crisp, pear skin that stays taut, almond that softens without sweetening. Serve it well chilled in a flute or white-wine glass. Warm, the brioche fattens and the acid softens; cold keeps the green apple and citrus zest sharp. For aperitif, seafood, or a serious dry sparkling pour, that dry smooth long line is the point.
How to drink it
Well chilled, flute or white-wine glass.
