A gorgeous wine that is superb value for money. When first pouring it I was met with that familiar traditional method aroma of bread, with citrus and green fruit. The palate was also thrilling, with more zing and acid than I anticipated, and made it even more reminiscent of Champagne, but at a much lower price. Creamy, and very delicious, this is excellent. If you like your bubbly then do not hesitate to try it. Happy New Year to everyone who has taken the time and trouble to visit my blog or share my blog posts. I hope your 2015 is balanced, long, intense (in a good way) and complex (also in a good way)!
