A perfect starter Champagne

This is a wine for people who love Mosel Riesling and want it in bubbles

followed by a gently rounded palate—off-dry rather than sweet—with a touch of saline minerality and fresh acidity

but particularly in Japan where respect for tradition and reinvention sparks a powerful creative energy

but this white sparkler might be the smartest buy in the house

The pure, refined and attractively vibrant medium bodied flavors exude equally good salinity on the classy and very stylish finale that goes on and on. This does need to develop better depth with time in bottle but the potential appears to be present so I would advise having at least some patience. 93 95 AM
