55% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay hand-harvested from a selection of different crus across the region. Vinification was traditional with full malolactic conversion. Aged on the lees for a minimum of three years. Winemaker Pierre-Hubert Crozat. TA 3.8 g/l , pH 3.16, RS 12 g/l. V egan. Natural cork. Bottle weight 836 g. Available in over 200 shops. Very light nose and really pretty ordinary. Young and dull but the sugar/acid balance is fine. (JR)

A bit raw on the nose. And really pretty sweet, and metallic, on the palate. Smoke and mirrors? Not that refreshing. I really would rather have an English sparkling wine than this. Bring on the full English! (JR)
Tasted blind Some mineral notes on the nose. Light, delicate, vivacious. Not especially satisfying in terms of heavy mouthfeel but a good aperitif. (JR)
Light perfume, hint of boudoir. (Here we come to the cusp of good and bad.) Pretty high acid. Apple skins. Not fine. (JR)
