BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Nice melange of toast, yeast, cream, and fruit. Yellow apple and pineapple. Smooth creamy palate, too, with refined mousse. Long finish, with integrated high acidity and appetizing salinity. 88

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon-gold, with nicely evolved, subtly nutty aromas leading to a full-flavored, nutty, dry mousse, with some intensity of flavor, although the bubbles fade just a little more rapidly than the flavor itself. Winey and well balanced nonetheless, and clean and refreshingly dry to finish. 89

Tom Stevenson: Good intensity of blanc de blancs, but with peripheral aroma that widens the palate. 88
