“Beyond Champagne: French Crémant can offer good value alternatives.” – Decanter

I don’t care if it’s New Year’s Eve, Monday Night Football, or Sunday brunch with the girls. You’ll always find a valid opportunity to pop bubbles at this price. Crémant is the cheat code and for just over $20 you can future-proof your stash.

The Times rightfully screams “What is a mystery to discerning wine drinkers and commentators is why Bordeaux’s wine producers don’t spend more time and effort on sprucing up and expanding the region’s promising Champagne-method Crémant de Bordeaux sparkling wines.” Like this one!

I’m so glad we don’t need to pick between this and the Crémant Rosé - just get both and be happy you don’t need to suffer the paradox of choice. You can have it all today! The Crémant Rosé is uber-hip, fresh, and lip-smacking good stuff, but then again, so is THIS! Made from 100% Semillon, it’s another fascinating example of world-class bubbly at a recession-proof price. Just $25! Shocking, really…

This has to be one of our best discoveries of the year, and you’ll find it EXCLUSIVELY here, today, whilst it lasts. Agent Noir cherrypicked this (and the Blanc de Noirs version) at a vast tasting in Bordeaux, where one least expects to be swept away by value bubbles. After a voyage to us from across the pond we pillaged the warehouse and made off with a few cases of our own, but the rest is yours.

Crisp, dry, rejuvenating bubbles. And did you see the PRICE?! You’ll be loving life when you take the first sip. If everyone could share a glass of this, the world would be a better place. No doubt.

With nervy acidity and brightness to balance the beautiful honeyed figs, almonds, white flowers, papaya and asian pears, it flows effortlessly without stalling or having that heavy, waxy quality that Semillon can sometimes have. Creamy, lively mousse and a slightly toasty finish round out every sip.

It might say Crémant on the label, but this Méthode Champenoise bubbly has all the makings of a solid $50+ Champers, at less than half the price. Enjoy on a special night, or just plop down on the couch with some Trader Joe’s stuffing flavored popcorn for possibly the best pairing of your life. Get an extra bottle and thank us later.

Simply a tremendous value, and easily goes mano-e-mano with many, much pricier Champagnes. One thing is certain, you will not regret having another bottle, so lock some in while it’s here because you won’t find it ANYWHERE ELSE and the price is just stupidly good for the quality.

The catch? There wasn’t enough made, or available of this either - so we grabbed what we could.
