Chandon Cuvee Reserve Varietal, Chardonnay, great bubbly





Chandon Cuvee Reserve Varietal, Chardonnay (Champenoise methode), By Moet Chandon, Mendoza, USD 17

Great sparkling from Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza by this French Domaine in distant lands. Sweet peach and pineapple with only hints of citrus close to a fresh NZ kiwi. Pleasant toast and butter not over the top. Beautifull acidity and tannins that give a wide middle palate longing for another sip.Nicely ended with a bitter push of a peel. I´d say a 90 points sparkling of international class. A great value. Same outstanding value as its counterpart Pinot Noir posted on Dec 31st ,2010.
