The presentation is great. The tasting notes are excellent. It comes in a clear Champagne bottle. The label gives more than the legal minimum with details on production (Méthode Champenoise, barrel fermented, etc.) and grape mixture. There is appellation listed as this cuvée comes from several appellations. It is distressing though that they did not at least list California - leads one to believe that more than 15% of the grapes come from elsewhere.
It had an composite cork typical of sparkling wines. The cork showed 1/8 inch penetration.
It had a colour reminiscent of a Chardonay with a like nose. Teensey bubbles.
It had a crisp slightly sweet anise flavour. After pouring a full flute, I got an almost cheesy taste on inhaling the CO2; but that could have been the pizza in the oven.
The Verdict:

| Varietals: | Pinot Noir, Chardonay |
