This attractive Blanc de Blancs manages at one and the same time to be loaded with character yet remains also on the energetic well-fruited side. Its aromas are more creamy than old yeasty" with notes of chalk and vanilla sitting in for the toasty notes that come with longer aged wines. Firm and abundant in its foamy insistent mousse this buoyant wine has the richness to go with foods like chicken in cream sauces and the acidity to make it a stellar mate to tangy shellfish dishes." - Charles Olken
