From Epernay, France

• Moderate gold color with a slight copper hue. Large-ish bubbles (for a Champagne); moderately fast & steady bubble-bead
  
  
• Heady scents of biscuits, orange, and tangerine
  
  
• The flavor is quite yeasty/biscuity (almost Sherry-like) backed by softer flavors of almond and lemon. Well-balanced; with a long finish and an ever-so-subtle hint of sweetness

No, not that kind of riddler; this kind of riddler. Mssr. Ellner began his wine life as a riddler. He then gradually worked his way into the Champagne game. The Ellner Champagne house appears to be a mid-size producer. I recently sampled Ellner's 'Carte d'Or' Brut. It's nearly a blanc de blanc (90% Chardonnay & 10% Pinot Noir).
