A blend of 70% Chenin Blanc, 15% Chardonnay & 15% Cab Franc, pale lemon with stone, tropical fruit aromas and floral scents. On the palate ripe sweet apple, peach & pear flavors with notes of citrus, good acidity, medium finish ending with mineral tones. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Yay Loire bubbles! Love the versatility of Chenin Blanc - will hopefully soon be a household name in the U.S. And the addition of a little Chard and (gasp) Cab Franc really rounds it out nicely.

Nice sparkler from the Loire Valley. Blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc from 20-30 year old vines. #bubbles #sparklingwine #loirevalley #frenchwine

Nose: saline lemon, a little buttered biscuit. No apple juice, yay. Taste: dry, crisp, distinct lemon and some biscuit. I really like this. Pretty decent value.

Beautiful salmon and gold in color. On the nose apples and pear. Fairly low acid with nice orchard fruits coming through. A medium crisp finish with a touch of herbs.

Very diverse blend for a bubbly. Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cab Franc. Hints of lemon. Nothing smashing but kicked the evening off on a good note.
