Picked this up at Premier Liquor in Buffalo for $18.95. Wonderful light salmon-peachy hue with tiny and pervasive bubbles in the glass. Initial aromas of fresh sliced strawberry on lightly toasted brioche. After the wine opens up the bubbles remain persistent with soft mousse. New aromas of orange, strawberry and hazelnut milk chocolate emerge. The palate is dry but not overpowered by acidity as there is a certain richness of fruit and yeasty texture. Delicious balance of flavours and mouthfeel with excellent length. If you can find this, buy some. Food pairings are endless. Tasted April '12
