"Comforting nose of apples, baked lemons, quince zest and some brioche, too. Medium body with fine bubbles and crisp acidity. Lively and agile with a mineral frame. Bone dry and bright at the center with weight. Flavorful and succulent finish. Drink or hold."

"The NV Montlouis-sur-Loire Triple Z,ro spends between two and three years on lees, lending a lovely richness to the mid-palate. It was bottled with no dosage, but picking later gave the wine balance and roundness‡no austerity or hardness. The Triple Z,ro is gently sparkling (bottles at 3 atmospheres rather than the usual 5-6 for champagne) with great clarity and precision. There,s excellent focus and tenderness here."

"Offers creamed pear and bruised apple flavors that come off clean, thanks to bitter-edged mineral character and grapefruit-laced acidity. Reveals a gentle effervescence that powers the harmonious palate, building nice concentration. Shows shortbread and toasted almond notes on the dry, well-hewn close. Drink now through 2028. From France.—K.B."
