Pale copper-salmon color. Aromas of summer strawberries, raspberries, rose petals and biscuits. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with a fine mousse. Very precise and pure, with a mineral and saline edge. Made from 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay that spent 24 months on tirage before disgorgement with 9 g/L dosage. Drink or hold.

Lush and festive, with crisp strawberry and apple flavors, this features gingerbread and spice notes that roll along the vibrant finish. Drink now. 5,500 cases made.

Yeasty and brimming in brioche and custard, this is a rich, generous and textured sparkling wine, made from blending 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and given a minimum of two years of aging. Dried cherry and a hint of dried herb provide complementary contrast.
Wine Advocate

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, the color derives from a portion of the Pinot Noir being briefly macerated on its skins, not from blending in still Pinot Noir. Strawberry, peach and lime notes abound on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is a bit chunkier and less refined than the vintage efforts.
Vinous

(58% pinot noir and 42% chardonnay): Pale orange-pink. Redcurrant and strawberry on the fragrant nose. Dry but fleshy, with good breadth to its juicy red fruit and blood orange flavors. Finishes with good energy and cling, leaving a touch of bitter citrus pith behind.
