Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Made using the traditional method, this beauty produced from 100% Chardonnay spent an impressive 60 months on its lees.

Rich aromas of poached apple, fresh warm baguette, mineral notes, and a nutty finish. It is creamy and opulent on the palate with crisp acidity and many fine bubbles. Flavours of baked apple, warm baked bread, lemon and a nutty finish. It is absolutely delicious! A good dupe for Champagne.

Tasted at the Taste Ontario event in April 2019.

Wine-Food Pairing: Very versatile and great on its own. Pair with lobster or rich seafood, fried chicken, tempura sushi, fried appetizers, and yes, popcorn!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
