Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Made from handpicked grapes using the traditional method, this bubbly is subdued and not overly expressive in terms of aromas. Rich pear pastry is most prominent on the nose followed by peach and hints of banana cream pie and hazelnut.

On the palate, the rich pasty follows through with notes of grapefruit and a slightly bitter nutty finish. It is medium bodied with nice fine bubbles and moderate acidity. This wine has some opulence and offers excellent value for its low cost.

WINE-FOOD PAIRING: This would pair well with creamy sauces or with rich seafood.
Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I like the smoothness of the bubbles. Dry, citric and bright acidity Good for the price.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Baked bread, peach and lemon curd flavors. A great value sparkling wine that would pair well with seafood such as broiled halibut
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Crisp and dry. Beautiful bubbly with stone fruit and honeydew melon. Accessibly priced, great value and crowd pleasing. Paired well with salty prosciutto and aged salty cheeses. Tasted June 2017. 90 points. BespokeTastings




Natalie's Review

Cave de Hoen Mausberg Brut Crémant d'Alsace Blanc De Blancs, Alsace A.C., France: Toasty and refreshing with an expensive looking label which is always a plus at fancy get-togethers where you don’t want to blow the budget but serve good stuff. White peach and melon and baked bread. The Alsace wine region is right next to Champagne, so it shares many similarities in climate and soil, and thus style. Pair with sushi and shellfish.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
