Scrumptious little bubbly with ample lift and a neat bitterness that's kept in check by mineral fruit.

Apples on the nose and palate, some lemon, yeast and rocks. Mostly dry but a faint hint of tangy sweetness. Good value

A wonderful surprise from the Loire I discovered at Bergamot Alley last week, cracking it open for a friend's birthday tonight.
