This is very dry, with sliced apples and lemons and an intensity of bread dough and brioche. It’s medium-bodied with vivid acidity and a crisp finish. Oyster and salt undertones.

Made from the base wine as the Estate Brut but with a lower dosage of just 4.5 grams per liter, the 2018 Estate Ultra Brut is the racier and drier of the two (no surprise here). Lime juice and citrus zest mark the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is zesty, clean and rapier-fresh.

Laser-focused and impeccably dry, this sparkler has refined lemon and stone fruit flavors laced with mineral and blanched almond accents.

Saltines, pears, grapefruit, sea shells, praline and salted almonds. Textured and restrained with lovely pastry and biscuit notes and very fine bubbles. Dry and all in balance.

A bright sparkling with aromas of dried lemon, apricot, almond, chalk and brioche. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine mousse. Energetic and mineral with a dry, focused finish.
