"I drink a lot of this wine at home, and every bottle makes me glad. It is a Champagne of impact; it is just earthy enough to be marked as a grower but just polished enough to indicate fine Champagne. It is full of character, solid enough to be toothsome, silky enough to gliss across the tongue.Base wines are unfiltered. 80-20 steel to wood. Average 32-year vines"- Terry Theise
