There is a richness to this wine, with creamy lemon and almond pastry cream. Tart, piquant notes of sea spray brine and white pepper. Known as the Black Label, it's a late disgorged wine; the base comes from 2015 but was disgorged in 2018. It is a rich and powerful wine with a touch of milk chocolate. Creamy and sweet.

Sweet cherries and candied raspberries, with dried lavender and herbs. Orange sherbert dashes of ocean salinity and crushed stone and chalk. Red wine from specific vineyards is blended back, 55% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir with 5% red wine blended in.

A solid core of fruit with apple, strawberry and hints of iron and salt on both the nose and palate. Full yet not too much with a lively mouthfeel and fine tannins. Tensioned and plenty of flavor.

This is clean and crisp with rich undertones of brioche and lemon custard. It offers a balance of the soft and the lively, a refreshing sparkling wine to kick off a dinner party.

A well-rounded, supple texture surrounds attractive toast and nut flavors in this suave and mouthfilling wine. Notes of biscuit, peach and toasted bread give it a nice sense of maturity and complexity.
