CHAMPAGNE LOOKALIKE FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE!

One of the very best of the French Methodes, this beautifully presented wine is a Champagne lookalike for a fraction of the price. It's a classic chardonnay dominant cremant from Limoux - the small town in Southern France that is famed for its high quality sparkling wines.

Fresh and zesty with fine bubbles and rich mouthfeel, this is quality all the way. A sure fire, dead set winner for anyone looking for affordable, top flight French sparkling.

Tasting Notes

The palate is characterised by a nice unctuousness and a frank and vivid sparkle. This sparkling wine is powerful, well-balanced with toasted notes of hazelnut on the finish. Enjoy with seafood and white meat, or combine perfectly with chocolate desserts.

Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, pale yellow colour. Bubbles are fine and persistent. The nose is softly expressive, aromas of apple, stonefruit interweave freshly baked brioche and nougat. Medium-bodied, well-proportioned baked apple, peach, lemon zest entwined with brioche and nougat. The wine is well-balanced with brilliant acidity and weight; the fruit has good intensity and length, enriched by toasty and yeasty autolysis showing brioche and nutty nougat nuance. This is an elegant and poised Methode Traditionelle with vivid scents of apple, stonefruit and balanced toasty autolysis."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is delightful and charming, and very enjoyable. Elegant and delicately expressed on the nose; notes of stone fruit, citrus, floral and brioche lead to a finely textured palate that brings vibrant flavours and silky texture. Beautifully styled and balanced."
