Serge Mathieu Tradition Pur Pinot Blanc de Noirs Brut

There is an elegant, light-footed restraint and refreshing lemon zest purity to this cuvée, while projecting the full depth and breadth of pinot noir from the Aube district in the south of Champagne in characters of blueberry and strawberry hull. It’s lively and vibrant, with primary fruit focus accented with a hint of brioche, well-integrated dosage, a fine bead and lingering appeal. $45 at Boccaccio.
