“Disgorged in November 2018, this shows the beauty of time in the bottle—a well-developed core of flavor and texture that's evolved and complex. Supple richness and softness last and linger on the palate, with pronounced elements of apple, peach, cherry and wet stone.”

Food Pairings
This unique sparkling cuvée is seafood’s companion, the subtle citrus flavor pairs perfectly with raw oysters, fennel-braised mussels, steamed clams, lobster, and sashimi. The clean, crisp acidity pairs well with young, ripe triple cream cheeses to robust blue cheeses with honey, which help to cleanse the palate after each bite.
