Hints of sherry and nuttiness come through on the nose, along with notes of ripe Granny Smith apple and citrus resin. The mouth shows a bit more ripeness by way of sweet nectarine slices and tangerine citrus. The moderate acidity keeps the sweetness from going over the top.

This is a crisp, dry sparkler with notes of red apple, carnation and cereal followed by flavors of peach pit and lime acidity in the highly carbonated mouth. Ends on a smooth, bright citrus-inflused finish.

Dry, toasty, smooth and clean; this is a textbook non-Champagne bubbly that will work as an apéritif or at parties. The palate is light and crisp, with citrus and apple flavors. And the body is just hefty enough. Imported by Jack Poust & Co., Inc.

This sparkling wine is named for the Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, who invented France's first sparkling wine back in 1531. (Don't confuse it with another sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, also called St.-Hilaire; this is the original, made from the local Mauzac grape.) It is delicate and elegant.

A pretty and remarkably drinkable sparkler with soft green apple, tangerine oil and faint yellow floral notes accented with hints of lavender. There’s medium carbonation and weight in the mouth, and pear and apple flavors abound with suggestions of honeydew in the finish. Drink now.
