93 pts Wine & Spirits magazine

pale straw color, with very fine bead, a lemon-steely style, with a lot of juicy lemon fruit, peach and apricots. The palate is clean, crisp fruits with a nice balance, classy blanc de blancs, fine balance and a lacy mousse, with a light, chalky undertow to the well-meshed flavors of Asian pear, quince blossom, ginger and slivered almond. Refreshing and harmonious. Drink now through 2030
