BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Mild, fine-tuned, yellow-fruit nose, with nice yeasty and toasty layers. More obvious on the plump palate, with a foamy mousse and a sweet finish. 85

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon in color, shy nose, good persistent bead, well-crafted mousse, with just a touch of sweetness to sugar the countervailing pill of fresh acidity and a mousse that’s satisfying while not particularly long on flavor or weight. But there’s balance here. 87

Tom Stevenson: Fresh with sweet, chunky fruit. Simple. 77
