Natalie's Score: 90/100

Floral, lime blossom, pretty: lots of acidity for food, medium-bodied. This isn't Champagne, but is made using the same methods of production with a second fermentation in the bottle to trap the bubbles, and based on Chardonnay grapes. Pair with fried chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Very soft and pretty sparkling. White grapefruit, lemon, sea salt, orange blossom water and sweet cream. Fine mousse. Sweeter than expected in the mouth; lemon cream.

Pair with: starter salad of arugala, avocado, citrus and feta.
Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Intriguing mineral, honeyed, apricot and autolytic notes on the nose. Fine, persistent mousse. Creamy and layered with sweet, honeyed fruit lingering on the finish. A great value alternative to pricier bubbles.
L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, a blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, produced using the traditional method. Lots of good bubbles, dry. with a nice honeyed nose of citrus, lime, white floral, nectarine and a hint of strawberries. Great with hard goat cheese, triple cream Brie, strawberries and crisp orange tortas (Ines Rosales Orange from Spain, purchased at FarmBoy). The orange tortas enhanced the citrus and fruit flavours wonderfully. A versatile wine.
Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nice bubbly from the Loire area. Chenin blanc dominant with cab franc and Chardonnay. Nice aromas of croissant and green apple. Great sparkling wine. A little short but at that price... I had it with lucky lime oysters from PEI and it was delicious.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A refreshing, zippy brut which is designed for pleasure. Tight bubbles, great acidity, a brilliant platinum sparkling non-vintage brut. Green apple, lime zest aromatics. A crowd pleaser offering great value. Great for seasonal festivities. Pairs well with turkey dinner, appetizers, brunch or on its own. Tasted Nov 2016 - rated 88 / 100
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Uber floral and refreshing. Crisp tangy notes of apple, lemon, and underripe peach dominate the palate. It's an easy drinking, light bodied, patio sipper kind of wine at a great price point. Enjoy with crispy baja fish tacos. Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Cherie Cole rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Great price point for a sparkling wine from France. Toast, red apple, apricot on the nose with toast and apple on the palate. Vibrant and enjoyable. Tasted April 3rd, 2016.
