Pale lemon yellow color. Steely aromas of yellow pear, apricot and toast. On the palate the bubbles are very small and acid is lower, giving the wine a somewhat softer feel to it. Toasted yellow pear flavors.

Medium lemon yellow in the glass. A touch of berry fruit and ripe melon aromas with notes of kiwi and lime. Very spicy on the palate with big clove and nutmeg notes over yellow apple, lemon, lime and a touch of toast. The lingering toast aromas lead in to chocolate flavors.

Medium lemon yellow color. Butter and candied lemon aromas are surrounded by a touch of oak and candied green apples. Good richness in the mouth with full and persistent yet small and creamy bubbles. Not overly acidic with good balance of fruit and toast.

Very pale yellow with a water-white rim. Candied citrus aromas are marked by light flint. Fairly vigorous in the mouth with lively acid - this is a very young wine and needs much more time. Nice depth of fruit with an edge of rich toasted oak.

Very pale lemon yellow in the glass. The nose is somewhat muted. The bubbles are fairly creamy on the palate, yet oddly larger than the NV Carte Blanche. Big green apple flavors lead to candied lemon on the finish.
