Mission Codename BB2
“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!
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 Blancs 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, Rosé bubbles. And did you see the PRICE?! You’ll be loving life when you see it through these Rosé-tinted glasses. If everyone could share a glass of this, the world would be a better place. No doubt.
All that fawning and rejoicing aside, this is remarkable stuff. Have you ever had a Cab Franc Crémant? Me neither, but man, this delivers. All the rich, red-fruited goodness you want with all the verve and zip and acid structure to keep it balanced and keep the salivary glands working overtime.
Crunchy pomegranate and cranberry fruit form a foundation here, with zippy Asian pears and waves of croissant crumbs, white cherry, minerals, fresh-cut roses, and Honeycrisp apples flowing. Crazy complex and captivating stuff, for real!
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 - so we grabbed what we could.
