I was walking through the aisles at the local Wine Shop, Binny’s, and I came across a display of French Sparkling wine selling for $4.99, I had to give it a try. It does not say Champagne on the label, because only sparkling wine from the Champagne Region can be called Champagne. It is classified as a Brut, which means dry or unsweet. Blanc de Blancs, indicates the wine is 100% Chardonnay. This Sparkler is sold by a French Negociant (a private bottler or re-labeler) and is bottled exclusively for Binny’s.
Very pale gold in color, there are plenty of bubbles. The nose is toasted bread, apricots, green apple and pear . Nice sharp bubbles, light citrus, some juicy ripe macintosh apple, with a late dose of banana and then a very light lemon finish. Very dry, very crisp, the flavors are all real fruit flavors, nothing artificial tasting.
Wow, five dollar Champagne never tasted like this before. Good bubbles, interesting nose and a delicate and refreshing taste. This is not a good for 5 bucks wine, it’s a solid, no excuses Sparkling Wine. This is the bubbly you need to order cases of for that Wedding or Anniversary Party. Your guests will thank you for it.
you can only find this a any Binny’s location or www.binnys.com
