Accolades

Sam Kim for Wine Orbit, 96 Points, October 2020
Impeccably composed and supremely elegant, this stunning méthode traditionelle shows white flesh peach, lemon peel, acacia and yeasty characters on the nose. The palate exhibits outstanding concentration and focus, together with refined mouthfeel and bright acidity, leading to a persistent poised finish. Intricate and exquisitely detailed.
