Not for me. A bit insipid with too much residual sugar, to soft a mousse and soonest no descendants fruit aromas or bottle bouquet.

Used mostly for cocktails, but I snuck a taste and this was much better than expected. Beats Korbel and the like at the $5 price point.

Tastes like ass, but so much better when shared between an advisor and a freshly minted PhD candidate

Bright and clean. Had with scallops... Drew out the brininess.

NOSE: beeswax, white toast, nuts,

TASTE: toasty apple — a little caramel. Surprisingly OK…especially for …$6 or $7? Wish it had a little more citrus, but still — distinctly French. I think I like it better than last time I tasted it. 87.

Nose: simple; apple juice. Maybe a little flower pollen. Taste: apple juice, a slight pastry-like bitterness. Very one dimensional. Meh. 83. Fine for the price, but won’t bother with it again.

Sparkling Vin de France. 🇫🇷
My taste buds must be broken because I do not taste any of the fruity things mentioned on the bottle. It's rather dry but would work wonderfully as a mimosa with a splash of juice!
Contains sulfites. 11% abv. Made my face stuff up almost instantly.
Otherwise, I'd say it's good!

Shockingly nice, but much more sweet than I'm used to from my BdB. $6
