Paula Kornell 2020 blanc de noirs

elegant streams of ultra-fine bubbles fill the glass, complemented by generous aromas of bright lemon, freshly cut hay, and a hint of strawberry and currant. the palate is crisp and vibrant, showcasing a concentration of flavors that range from ripe meyer lemon to white cherry, white peach, gentle notes of honeyed brioche and a whisper of buttered croissant. the energetic and lively bubbles persist alongside the heightening complexity of aromas. with a barely perceptible dosage, the result is an evocative representation of carneros terroir with a finish that is bright, clean and endlessly refreshing.
