96pts Decanter

Beautifully harmonious with intriguing layers of quince, oyster shell, citrus, plum and lime peel. A dry, soft mousse which to be enjoyed now or within the next few years.

91pts Wine Enthusiast

Broadly defined in honeysuckle, peach, brioche and moderate acidity, this is a crowd-pleasing and immensely likable sparkling wine. The finish lingers on a deep, nutty tone.

90pts Wine Spectator

Steely and vibrant, with expressive lemon, lime and mint flavors that pick up speed toward a snappy finish. Drink now.

90pts James Suckling

This is overtly fruity with lots of apple and strawberry character. Full body. Round and creamy. Fruity finish. Very fruity at the end. Drink now.

Winemaker Notes

 J Cuvée 20 Brut opens with nuanced aromas of fresh sourdough bread, green apple, tangerine and almond. A dance of bubbles leads to a focused palate that delicately balances sweet and tart notes of raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry and lemon rind, whisked away by a crisp and lively finish. Pair this versatile sparkler with Asian shrimp dumplings with yuzu glaze or Stilton cheese with toasted hazelnuts.

Blend: 51% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir, 8% Pinot Meunier.
