Vadin Plateau
Renaissance Premier Cru Extra Brut
$68
Below the halo of dainty beads, this one of a kind cuvée is straw colored. A rim of antique pink suggests the presence of pinot meunier. Sensational.
A pleasant musk—that true “Champagne” cellar smell. A delicate surprise of red apple skin, daffodils, and the air right after it rains.
Fennel pollen and yellow flowers carry through on the palate. A developed note of sweet green herbs. A kiss of orange zest. The finish is fresh with lingering acidity.
