Citrus, stone fruit and red apple are layered with toasted brioche, oatmeal and delicate floral notes, while a fine, persistent bead gives the palate freshness and lift. The style is dry, creamy and elegantly balanced, finishing long without feeling heavy. First released in 1999, it remains the signature wine of this family-owned sparkling specialist. Pour it as an aperitif or serve alongside freshly shucked oysters, smoked salmon blinis or crisp fried seafood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current non-vintage blend comprises 97% Chardonnay and 3% Pinot Noir.
