For $20? Wow! Plentiful fine bubbles, yeast on the nose. Drinks beautifully.

Late brunch with these Bugey bubbles on a rainy Saturday afternoon was pretty fantastic. 👌🥂
This sparkling wine was made using the Méthode Traditionnelle which notably involves a second fermentation in the bottle and aging on the “lees” for at least 12 months. 🕰
In essence, “lees” are what remain in the fermentation vessel after the active yeast has consumed the sugar in the pre-fermented grape juice during the fermentation process; when they die they undergo a process called autolysis, which is responsible for releasing unique flavor/aromatic compounds and enhancing richness and complexity of the resulting wine. The more contact a wine has with the “lees” the greater the “lees” influence the resulting wine. 🤓
This wine comes from the cru of Montagnieu in the alpine appellation of Bugey within Savoie France, situated in the foothills of the Jura mountains. It is a blend of the Altesse (local), Mondeuse (local), and Chardonnay (international) grape varieties. 🇫🇷
I loved the complexity of aromas and flavors with notes of sweet herbs, watercress, a funkiness of cheese rind, also baked apple, pear, brioche, honeysuckle, peony, and toasted almond. 💕💕
This wine was smooth and dry on the palate with medium(+) acidity, a medium body, and medium alcohol. 👄
We paired it with an aged cheddar, chive, and arugula omelet and it was deliciously complementary.

This is the friend you’re still not so sure about. Some great redeeming features, enveloping taste, but lacking the elegance of more adult varieties.
