Baguette and Anjou pear, a drizzle of honey and a minerally streak pair up nimbly on the nose of this polished blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, joined by delicate citrus that also informs the texture of the palate—where yellow peach, both flesh and skin, and mouthwatering acidity come into play before the high-toned finish

Sliced apples, grapefruit, pears and biscuits on the nose. It’s balanced and fruit-forward with a medium body, bright acidity and soft bubbles. Easygoing

A blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, the 2019 Brut Saphir has an intense and assertive mousse. It fills the mouth while the texture is light and airy. With additional time on lees compared with the straight Crémant styles, there’s an added layer of complexity and autolytis-derived pastry richness alongside freshly cooked apple fruit.

The wine exhibits a radiant citrus color along with delicate bread and pure chalk and lemon aromas that come along pretty expressive after some minutes in the glass. It is round and fruity on the palate yet also firm and mineral, with a chalky/lemony expression that is balanced by roundness (from the dosage).
