| TASTING NOTE: A substantial (not surprising for a Blancs de Noir which is made entirely of pinot noir) and very Champagne-esque sparkler from Chandon. Doesn't have quite the complexity as the big boys but it is undeniably appealing and nicely balanced. Excellent value. Tasted May 2015. Score - 90 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, May 2015) |
