CLASSIC French white table wine. Very drinkable, no one flavour/aroma stands out. Well made, the acid makes for a clean finish, very balanced.

Light to medium body that’s extra dry on the palate with medium firm tannins. The wine review on the LCBO (wine store page) by James Suckling was written Jan-2020 (almost 2 years ago). I’d consider it out of date, so disregard it and (only) listen to what I say.

I need to clarify something, in Episode 4 “Champagne Alternatives – Boujie on a Budget” of The Wine Podcast for Everyone, I said I don’t like Champagne. What I primarily do not like about Champagne is the price. Yes, I do find it overly dry and austere, but that IS what Champagne is and this $16.95 sparkling wine might as well be a Champagne.
While it’s missing some of the complexity of higher-end Champers this is basically Champagne, I was shocked. It’s made in France and therefore I suspect the winemaker knows a thing or two about blending Champagne (spoiler alert, most champagne is blended wine).
Peach aroma, vaguely floral flavour, fine polite bubbles, clean finish. What’s not to like? Perfect for when you don’t want the sparkling wine to be star of the show, but rather a strong supporting character.
Bonus points for the gorgeous bottle, looks like etched crystal. Really knocked it out of the park. Great hostess gift.

Importantly un-oaked. This crisp and acidic chardonnay keeps your mouth watering for the next sip. If experience has led you to believe that all chardonnays are made into heavy, buttery, barrel aged viscous whites – this one will put un-oaked versions of this varietal back on your shopping list!
Prince Edward County is a newer winemaking region in Ontario that’s certainly growing in popularity. The region produces tends to specialize in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I bought this bottle directly from the winery in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.
