A new cuvee for me is the 2008 Ocean Reserve Blanc de Blancs. A percentage of the sales proceeds for this cuvee goes toward the restoration of the planet-s oceans in conjunction with the partnership between Iron Horse and National Geographic. Made from 100% Chardonnay, it exhibits abundant notes of citrus, wheat thin and honeysuckle intermixed with freshly cut fruit, medium body and a dry finish. I am a big fan of the lightness and delicacy of 100% Chardonnay sparklers, and this offering certainly satisfies those requirements.
