Grabbed this on sale - a local shop had a big Champagne sale, for the holiday I suppose, so I snagged a few bottles.The nose on this is all blueberry jelly spread on white bread toast. Nice.
A bit doughy, not toasty, not quite bready, a little bit nutty, mostly like the raw dough you get in this exploding cans to make biscuits. Other qualities of interest are peach skin, pink Sweet Tarts, candied orange peel, and a bit of citron. (Now that the weather has cooled down, let me just take this moment to strongly recommend citron tea - find your local Asian market and grab a jar, it's good stuff.)
Some blueberry on the finish along with more of that yeasty sorta thing with the nuttiness coming through even further.
A worthy entry level Champagne. At $30, I have no complaints.
Score: 90
