Number 97 on Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2004! This brut exhibits a lively, yet delicate pear-like bouquet that sets it apart from other sparkling wines. The fresh fruit flavors are backed by a subtle and developing toastiness. In sipping the wine, the effervescence gives way to a creamy roundness, classic in a predominantly Pinot Noir blend. Excellent with spicy prawns over pasta, grilled salmon, roasted chicken, clam chowder or crab cakes.

Rating: 90/100 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator
