We were invited to a Christmas dinner at an excellent local restaurant, and saw no reason not to accept, so turned up as requested, only to find a bottle of this stuff on the table. And what stuff it is too. Made of chardonnay grapes, it smells fresh and herby, with a nice citrus acidity. The bubbles are fine and even, like they should be, and the tingle on your tongue is accompanied by a big and juicy palate full of pear and cashew flavours, which lingers on and on and on. This is an aboslutely top drop.
Food: a lovely soft ripe Camembert...
Price: Luckily I wasn't paying for this bottle, so I have no idea. More than a bottle of cheap Tuesday night plonk, I should imagine.
