appearance: clear with pale intensity and a lemon color. nose: clean with medium intensity, with aromas of apples for days, hay, melon, and a barnyard-y type of smell. palate: light sweetness, with average acidity. the body is high, with flavors of kiwi, pineapple, grapefuit, and apricot. the length is below average. overall: average sparkling wine. the fruit is solid, and the flavors are complex. the length is not bad. this is not a sparkling wine that would wow many, but it's a solid sparkler that for the price, is great. i give it an 88.

A blend of 90% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay has produced a light, attractive salmon pink-colored wine. It has crisp, poised acidity and ripe red currants, along with a layer of fresh tannins. To finish, there is just a touch of sweetness to balance.

Aromas of walnuts and red fruits show that this is a still a young wine. And that is confirmed by the taste, which is full-bodied but still very fresh and, ripe rather than mature. With its blend of premier and grand cru wines from the hot 1990 vintage, it is almost more like a wine than a Champagne.

Less fruity and dry overall, compensating with delicate tones of white flower and talc powder. A subdued wine, with a light, citrus-driven mouthfeel and a short finish.

Pale in color but with decent flavor and body, there a lot to like in this Oz sparkler with a famous name. It offers toast and vanilla aromas, flavors of melon, dried fruit and earth, and a fine even bead. There's good length to the dry citrus-tinged finish.

An attractive element here is the distinct mineral tone that adds a vein of dryness to what is otherwise a sweet sparkler ripe with peach and apricot-like aromas. It has frothy texture and cleansing crispness on the close.

Brut nature is a bone-dry style of Champagne, dry well beyond ordinary brut, which lends a steely refinement to the usual toast and fruit. This wine is absolutely built for oysters or caviar. Though it’s a rarely seen style of Champagne, this is an excellent effort.

This Blanquette (made with 90% Mauzac) offers a bouquet full of bright crisp red apple and melon core. The texture is creamy with fine bubbles and medium acidity, and the palate is loaded with satisfying sweet citrus rind and toasty brioche flavors. Drink now.

La Marca delivers a fresh and easy-drinking Prosecco that would wash down beautifully with bruschetta topped with cherry tomatoes and basil. This luminous sparkling wine is redolent of white peach and honey and offers a touch of sweetness on the bubbly finish.

A lovely, blush-colored bubbly, with strong aromas and flavors and a full, rich body. Citrus, rose petal, strawberry, vanilla, yeast and toast flavors mingle in a crisp, dry wine that has a very long, fruity finish.
