Right off the bat you'll detect that this Loire Valley sparkler is not Chardonnay; it's Chenin Blanc—you can tell from the yellow color and the unusual nose that's both meaty and toasty. Interesting across the palate, with notes of papaya, pear and green herbs. Hefty and smoky at the end, with a fat mouthfeel.
