Not super bubbly, not sweet but also not super dry. It had a mild taste with a hint of green apple crispness at the end. By itself, not really memorable, but makes some pretty nice Kir Royals or mimosas.

Enjoyable. Yes, I use this term much but it is. But it is not memorable. This does have some hints of apple, pear and maybe a slight hint of lemon.

For a budget bubbly, it’s not that bad. Apples and lemon curd with just a hint of bread. Decent balance of acidity and effervescence. Pretty reasonable mouth feel. Good for what is. You can actually enjoy a sip before adding the orange juice. Revisited in December 2023. Reasonable.

For $10 it’s very well done.

Actually not that bad, even without orange juice. All things considered....and I mean ALL things considered. It's made in the champagne method, tastes and feels good in your mouth, has been around since the 1880s, is available frign everywhere, and only costs like $12. Not too shabby at all.

I was a little surprised by the ratings on here. I was not a fan of this champagne at all. A little too sweet and not enough bubble to it.

Bright lemon, good balance of sweet and tart and no higher fusel alcohols.
