Montaudon
Extra Dry Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
Off-dry, to me a bit too off-dry. Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus and sweet nutty notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and apricot with citrus, sweet floral and slight biscuit notes. Short finish ending with ripe fruit and sweet notes. Not a real extra dry. Pass.

Star bright rose gold with persistent tiny bubbles. Shy nose of toast with black cherry jelly. Medium toasty palate confirms the nose adding a bit of ash back palate. Finish is moderate and continues the palate. The extra dry from Montaudon packs more fruit and weight than the NV brut but is still quite dry (I'd compare it to some Champagnes on the less dry end of the brut range), and of course in the perfect place for food.

Lovely very small bubbles, a Light yellow nose with little nose, but a light to medium body that is fairly complex and a medium length aftertaste. Well worth the &30.00 paid @ Total Wine in Delaware since there also was no tax! A bargain even for another $5.00. Works well with spicy crab soup & surprisingly well with fresh orange slices!

Butterscotch and baked apple - soft on the palate.

A little scuppernongy and sweet, just OK but it would be great for making mimosas.
