Something new for stage 12 #tourdefrance to celebrate the grand climb of Alpe d'Huez. Off dry sparkler. Pleasant flavor and good mousse but prefer dry bubbles myself.

Fun ultra-nerdy semi sweet sparkling wine from just west of Savoie. Ancestral method bubbles; meaning they bottle before fermentation is complete. Fermentation finishes in bottle, naturally stopping after a couple of months. No dosage, but natural sweetness from the unfinished fermentation. I agree with a couple of others who said this drinks like a sparkling Kool-Aid.. raspberry/strawberry punch with a streak of minerality. Some mustiness on the nose. Crack this bad boy open whilst grilling burgers poolside for optimal enjoyment.

All the rich ripe fruit of gamay with the crispness of a well put together bubbly. It’s almost too easy to drink and too delicious to stop. Strawberry and watermelon with some nice floral components. Fantastic crowd pleaser and pro pleaser alike. Great price too.
