Pearson's Notes

#77 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2011
There's a firm, chalky edge to this minerally Champagne, and mouthwatering flavors of candied lemon peel, green apple, crystallized honey and biscuit. This has an elegant texture and an overall sense of style. Drink now through 2020.

Wine Spectator - 92 points

Smooth and rich but not heavy, marked by fresh, lively fruit flavors and nice touches of maturity in the vanilla and nutmeg accents. Combines great balance and enticing flavors. 42,000 cases made.
