Never tried high end CA sparkling but this can compete. Very linear with great balance of acidity and fruit

It’s a tropical tasting top shelf blanc de Blancs champagne. Nice structure and creaminess, with added tropical notes of ginger, pear, pineapple, with a fruit-forward finish on the palate. It’s very well-made, the elegance and brightness are not lost.

Melted butter and cake batter on the nose. Aged cider on the palate. Surprisingly lively for a 2001.
