Montaudon Brut - NV (375ml) ejohnson This rich and toasty sparklerThis rich and toasty sparkler has notes of almond and brioche toast combined with crisp green apple and lime accents. Delicious! Crisp and juicy, with a pretty floral note winding through flavors of Fuji apple, apricot, anise and candied orange peel. Fresh and focused, with a slight grain to the texture and a smoky sub note that lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2015. 91 Points Wine Spectator 30 11 2011
