It's not bad. Aye, it's straightforward, single-layered and ridiculously overpriced. There are plenty of sparkling wines delivering the same quality and pleasure for a much better price.
Anyways. Some pears on the yeasty canvas with notes of white flowers and lemon curd. Quite fresh, round and buttery. The aftertaste is empty. Yes, there is acidity and sweetness, but all the flavours fade quickly.
After reading my own notes, I am puzzled by such a high score.
Overpriced crowd-pleaser. It's not bad just straightforward and single-layered. Apples, lime and citrus notes. Slightly creamy. Lacks acidity. Sparkling alcoholic lemonade.
Simple crow-pleasing Champagne. Fresh, creamy and fruity. It's not bad, of course, but there are far better choices for this price.
Simple champagne with pear and apple, citrus and toast. Good refreshing acidity, strong mousse.
