The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity. A delicious sparkler for a great price!"
My Review: The bouquet on this wine was very light and floral, and almost sweet. I was expecting something similar on the palate but I should have known better based on the "brut" label. I couldn't detect any particular flavors, but it was definitely crisp and bitter. While this wine was lacking in the fruitiness I was looking for, it was definitely an engaging experience in terms of texture and body. These were even throughout the palate, and the bubbles added a refreshing kick despite the dryness.
This wine was tasted without food.
