M. Chevallier Carte Noire Brut Cava *(NV)


Yellow/golden hue with aromas of cinnamon, creamy butterscotch, and a touch of lemon.    

Palate--Unremarkable first impression with very little taste, but the pin prick bubbles are quite nice in mouth feel and appearance. What flavor is there is subtle with light notions of apple, and cream.

This is a Trader Joe's perennial at a budget level price of around $8 and if you ice it down enough it will be a fresh palate cleanser with greasy foods, and/or harder to pair foods like the Polish sausage I am having with it tonight. If you're on a budget--and who isn't these days-- $8 raise a glass.


*NV means Non Vintage--meaning it is made from grapes sourced from various years' productions.
