Always a great-value sparkling, made the same way as Champagne and left on its lees for 18 months for toasty, yeasty complexity. The 2024 release uses 2021 base wine from vines averaging 20 years, it's 43% Pinot Noir and 24% Aligote, supported by Gamay and Chardonnay. Crisp acidity, ripe red apple juiciness and a tart redcurrant finish.
