Tattinger Brut La Francaise Champagne review by Billy


Nose: Strong citrus of grapefruit and lemon curd on the nose with a nice under tone of crackers
Palate: delightfully spritely on the tongue with expert balance of dryness and structure.
Finish: Lime on the finish with a slight floral softness
Overall: a delightful citrussy Champagne for a reasonable price. I paid about $35 for this at a local wine shop. I prefer it over a more expensive but less character-driven Champagne like Veuve. It is easy drinking without being snobbish. If you love a citrus driven sparkling wine and have a reason to celebrate, pick up a bottle of Tattinger and raise a glass!

Heidsieck & Co Monopole Blue Top Brut Champagne Wine Review by Billy


Nose: toast, truffles, and chamomile
Palate: bone dry, small bubbles and a fine balance that entices my whole mouth.
Finish: dry finish with lemon grass hints.

Overall: a find Non Vintage Champagne. The earthy - yeasty character makes this midpriced sparkler a great value. I paid about $30 for this bottle and we enjoyed it with Easter dinner.

Raise a Glass!
