Pale salmon color; fine bead. Toasty, yeasty aromas add scents of cinnamon and plum. The fruit is even more apparent on the palate, where plum and straberry flavors predominate. It's fairly full-bodied and would work better with meat dishes than on its own.

With its blend of Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, close to Chablis, this has a fine cool, steely character. It is bright, fresh, dominated by grapefruit flavors and a taut fruit skin structure. There is a final burst of crispness.

This pale straw-colored sparkler boasts a fine bead and creamy mouthfeel. The toasty aromas lead into faintly stony and citrusy flavors that finish a bit soft, but smooth.

Toasty and a bit eggy or custardy, giving a rich impression based on the aromas alone. But it's more medium in body, with a creamy mouthfeel and smoky hints of butter and orange rind on the palate. Citrus flavors burst into life on the clean, refreshing finish.

A rich yellow color, this wine shows prominent oak flavors and aromas. Toasty vanilla dominates the nose while butter and toast wrap around Chardonnay’s flavors of yellow fruits. A bigger style, with big bubbles and a round feel.

Toast and lime scents resemble a decent Champagne, but the flavors are riper and peachier. It's got a fine bead, medium body and some chalky notes as well. Finishes a little soft, but the flavors linger.

A blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, this is open, ripe, soft, with green plum and fresh red currant flavors. There is attractive acidity, although there is also a confected, candy element. The aftertaste has balanced freshness.

A ripe, full-bodied wine, but one that has a fine balance between fresh wild strawberry flavors and dry, tight acidity. It has weight in the right places, but finishes lean, tight and crisply fresh.
