A Wine Enthusiast 91 at $25:
Subtle notes of ripe apple combine with hints of shortbread on the nose of this wine. The palate adds notions of juicy, ripe, yellow plum. All is fruity but subtle. The fine mousse adds freshness and roundness to this lovely dry sparkler.
In fact, it rates higher than our market’s most popular Champagne, the $55
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut. As well as Pol Roger, Moet, Billecart-Salmon and many more!
Savvy sparkling wine lovers know that the finest “crémants” – that is, sparkling wines made by the Champagne method from outside Champagne – can offer the quality and style of true Champagne at a much better price.
As this one clearly does.
