Sparkling Brut
82/100
The short takeGreen apple, lemon, and white flowers, then a crisp, light, dry-leaning palate and a fine bead. The finish is clean and short-medium, and what remains is citrus. A brut that stays dry-leaning and does not hang on.

In the glass
- Nose
- Green apple, lemon, and white flowers. The aroma is clean and bright, and the flowers stay light rather than turning into perfume.
- Palate
- Crisp, light, and dry-leaning, with fine bubbles. The bead keeps the sip moving and keeps a light wine from feeling flat. Green apple and lemon stay clear. It leans dry without drying out the middle, and the texture stays crisp rather than soft or sweet.
- Finish
- Clean, and short-medium. Citrus is what remains. The flowers do not follow the fruit out of the glass, and nothing sweet lingers.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
It drinks like a light brut: crisp, dry-leaning, fine bubbles, fruit kept to green apple, lemon, and white flowers.
The wine
The bead is fine, and the wine leans dry. That is the useful thing about this sparkling brut, before the fruit is even the point.
Green apple, lemon, and white flowers come off the glass as a clean aroma. The flowers stay light. The palate is crisp and light, and the bubbles are fine enough to keep a slender sip moving. Dry-leaning is the right word for the middle: not a stern bone-dry close, and not a soft fruit drink. White flowers stay in the aroma. They do not turn into perfume once the wine is in the mouth, and the crisp texture does not soften as it warms in the glass for the length of one pour.
The balance is that dry lean plus the fine bead. Crisp and light through the middle, citrus at the end, white flowers left in the aroma. It does not need a longer finish to make the case, and it does not turn softer if you give the glass a minute.
The finish is clean and short-medium, and what remains is citrus. Eighty-two is for a brut that stays crisp, light, and dry-leaning, with fine bubbles and a close that does not hang on. Serve it well chilled, in a flute or a white-wine glass. It suits a pour where you want green apple, lemon, and white flowers, and you want the sweetness kept in check.
