| TASTING NOTE: A good-value alternative to Champagne, made by a renowned sparkling wine producer. A Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend with 15-18 months' bottle-ageing on lees, delivering yeasty, nutty, complex aromas and a creamy, rich palate with fine mousse. Freshness, lemony citrus fruit, crisp acidity and a lingering finish. Score - 90 (Christelle Guibert, decanter.com, Dec. 7, 2015) |
