A

with a bouquet of ripe Pinot Noir fruit. Part of the wine is
initially fermented in the press, producing a soft fruity
character that gives Blanc de Noirs its directness, while a

with that touch of honey-flavored brioche on the close. Then
suddenly it's like a bit of crisp, sweet apples. Complex.
