Laetitia 2011 Brut de Noirs Méthode Champenoise Sparkling (Arroyo Grande Valley)

Country: US / Brut de Noirs Méthode Champenoise
Variety: Sparkling Blend California
Winery: Laetitia / Arroyo Grande Valley

Faint whiffs of green apple sit atop chalk, baking soda and yeast on this crisp sparkler from a winery founded for making bubbly in 1982. The Granny Smith green apples carry the palate, which also offers yeastiness on the finish and a decent amount of tannic grip.
