2017 Bel Lago Sparkling Auxerrois

Our friends were in Michigan recently visiting relatives. When we heard that, we asked them to check out Bel Lago Winery and they gladly did. They said they had a good time, and got to meet Charlie Edson, the person that my husband had been communicating with about Bel Lago's Auxerrois.
We cannot purchase Bel Lago's wines here in Connecticut so when the opportunity arose, we asked our friends to bring back a bottle of Auxerrois for us. A few nights ago, we tasted Bel Lago's 2017 Sparkling Auxerrois, with hand written notes by Charlie.
We all enjoyed the Sparkling Auxerrois. My husband thought the wine had the purity of Auxerrois fruit flavor with a backbone of good acidity and a touch of lasting mouthfeel from the other minor components.There was a very nice balance to the sparkling wine from first taste to finish. Everyone in our group gave it a very big thumbs up.
