I've never really been a "Champagne" or even "Sparkling Wine" guy. I just never saw what all the fuss was about. I've had the value wines (Cava, Prosecco, Cremant, etc.) and some of the well known Champagnes (Moet, Dom, Veuve). I've just never found any to be all that memorable. This was the first time I've ever had a "wow" experience with a sparkling wine. As soon as you start pouring this, the aroma fills the area. I found myself constantly nosing the wine. The palate had so much going on, and then the finish just lingered. Stunning.

A well-priced Champagne for all the goodness you get from the bottle. It has delicious baked apple notes, brioche and citrus along with a long finish. It's sparkly and lively. I need this for my wine rack.

Old school champagne here, dry and mushroomy
