Domaine Carneros Le Reve Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2017

90 | Reductive and aldehydic (?) at once, Celery chardonnay. Elevated acidity and a dry balance. Phenolics grip and dry the ending. Appetising.

93 | Rich and rewarding developing nose. Fruity and focused, bright acidity and some sharp Chardonnay fruit tempered by autolysis and honeyed notes. Sweet edge to the finish. Focused and approachable

95 | Very fine; lots of autolysis but very pure and does not dominate. Crisp fruit, lemon, just ripe peach. Very fine persistent bubbles.

92 | Fragrant lemon hue, foamy mousse. Intense bouquet of lemon blossom. Fine and crisp with attractive drive and vivacity carried along by a backbone of wet stone acidity. Gentle toasty complexity to the close.
