| Light straw colour. Classy, faintly spicy, gently complex, fairly intense, ripe lemon-apple nose with some very slightly toasty notes. Very dry, medium bodied, well structured, ripe lemon-apple-melon flavours with excellent effervescence and a lingering, refined, somewhat chalky crisp, faintly toasty finish. Has 12% alcohol and 11 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1524810615 on the back label. |

A Best Buy |
| Laurent Fresnet, Henriot's cellar master, was awarded Sparkling Winemaker of the Year at the 2015 International Wine Challenge. TASTING NOTE: Gorgeous and consistent wine that balances fruit density with toasty developed character and always, always elegant. Plenty of citrus, green apple and wild strawberry flavours are robed in brioche and roasted nuts all carried into a lengthy finish on a creamy, sensuous texture. Complex from a high percentage of reserve wines, vinous from 60+ percent of pinot noir, and yeasty from several years in the bottle - it's rich but lithe and well-framed by chalky minerals. Score - 94 (D.J. Kearney, winealign.com, Dec. 15, 2014) |
