Cave de Lugny
Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Burgundy, France
Delightfully light and fruity, closer to a basic NZ sparkling than anything around champagne. Will go back for more (Kris lounge in Sydney).

Apple and cut hay. Quite fruit driven, good body and texture with a bit of a tart finish.
Decent quality bubble. I'm sensing that the quality of this has come down somewhat recently, not a good move.

We recently felt like the ultimate comfort food - sausage swirls. So managing with our 1 pot, 1 knife and spatula, they actually turned out alright considering! I love to match these pastry, meat, cheese and potato swirls with bubbles as it refreshes the palate. This wee bubbles from the Burgundy Region in France is around the $15 mark and is made from 100% Chardonnay.
On the eye it’s a creamy pastel yellow colour. Notes of apples and lemon come through on the nose with a slight hint of nuts. In the mouth it’s juicy, fruity and easy drinking with a lovely soft effervescence. This is my kind of night in on a budget!

We picked up this French sparkling from Liquorland for $16. Remember we can't call this bubbles 'champagne' as it's not made in the champagne region in France. It's actually made in the Burgundy region and as it's a Blanc de Blancs it's made from 100% Chardonnay. 'Cremant' means it's made the same way as champagne but just not from the champas region. The next best thing at a fraction of the price!
In the glass it's a baby yellow colour with a milky-way stream of bubbles. The nose reminds me of lemon curd cupcakes with some freshly cut apple slices on the side and a touch of toasty nuttiness. The palate is smooth, crisp and has a nice balance of stonefruit, citrus and biscuity flavours with a sprinkling of nuts. I'll be buying this again to satisfy my bubbly cravings!

Soft apple fresh aroma small bubbles slightly sweet. Good value for money. Not overly dry.

Found this at a affordable price and was incredibly impressed. Well balanced beautiful acidity and a slight citrus note on the palate. A wonderful bottle for under 20!!
