Representing a blend of 65% Auxerrois, 34% Pinot Blanc and 1% Chardonnay, this traditionally fermented fizz from a lesser-known sparking wine region has pleasing personality for the price. Restrained and subtle on the nose with light notes of apple and biscuit. Dry and round palate with a broad mouthfeel. Good acidity to balance with a pleasing crispness. Quaffable and rewarding.
