From estate fruit and windy vineyards delivering perfectly balanced fruit for sparkling Pinot Noir. There is serious generosity to this Blanc de Noirs, which spends five years en tirage—honeyed aromatics of sweet bee pollen, candied ginger, and sweet apricot pasty cream. The palate delivers freshness that matches its depth of fruit. Rich lemon curd honey drizzled peach flesh shows opulence. Still, a brilliant freshness, bright acidity, and persistent mousse deliver a deliciously fresh sparkling wine with ample ageability.
