A very light yellow color, very light even for a Blanc de blancs, with hordes or smallish bubbles. On the nose there is fresh baked hard crusted bread which I could even smell upon opening from 2 feet away, together with some slate and minerals. On the palate this is light and lively, with a tough of (orange?) citrus. Delightful and fresh, I did not note any green apple as other have, but as it warmed I sensed some warm golden apple. (second bottle - yes, I got green apple).
