wines tasted

Blanc de Blancs NV ($48)

100% Chardonnay. 30 months on the lees, with 9g/l dosage. Nice combination of creamy richness, spicy finish, and lean acidity balanced by the small amount of sugar.

Blanc de Noirs NV ($48)

100% Pinot Noir. Richer, rounder, more mature style, but also with a similar creamy, spicy texture. Like the Blanc de Blancs, aged for 30 months with 9g/l dosage.
