Eins-Zwei-Zero Sparkling Blanc de Blancs

The wine

Green apple and citrus rise first, then a bready top note that sketches the Blanc de Blancs profile without tipping into pastry weight — lean, precise, Chardonnay-family fruit in a sparkling frame. Fine, persistent bubbles carry a crisp green-fruit body; the mousse stays soft enough to drink, the acidity bright enough to keep apple and citrus from going soft. It drinks leaner than richer sparklers in the zero-proof aisle, but the green-fruit line stays specific rather than generic bubbly. The close is clean and precise, citrus still carrying, no sticky hang. Pale in the glass, fine bead, soft enough for a flute, sharp enough that the bready note reads as texture rather than sweetness. Green apple through the middle, citrus on the exit, bread as a top note that never becomes brioche. Bright acidity and soft bead keep the lean frame lively.

A lean sparkling white that stays with green apple, citrus, and bread over plump fruit. Serve it well chilled in a flute and the lean green-fruit line stays sharp. Persistent bubbles over green fruit, bread as seasoning — Blanc de Blancs sketched lean, not padded.
