Jen's Notes

This pale gold Champagne exhibits tiny, persistent bubbles. It is quite aromatic, including scents of graphite, honeysuckle, and stone fruits. As the name might suggest, this is a much sweeter style of Champagne, although this quality is balanced by fresh acidity and M&C's hallmark steeliness on the finish. On the palate, it is lush and creamy, boasting flavors of banana, nutmeg and mango, with a layer of minerality underneath. Though we certainly enjoy the drier sparkling wines as well, this wine is a delightful change of pace.
