Blanc de Noirs 2015 made only positive impressions on me. Fresh and fruity flavour, bread crust in the aftertaste, and without even a trace of yeast. Well done! The only thing I was a little bit confused about, if comparing with a Charmat Prosecco, was the quality of bubbling: alongside strings of minute bubbles, there were quite a lot of big ones. Very sprightly acidity and – comparing with Prosecco – a much more pleasant price.
