2015 Bouvet Saphir Brut Vintage

Outside of Champagne, Bouvet is the most awarded Sparkling Wine House in France, garnering praise from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Decanter Magazine and others.

After many years of ownership by Champagne Taittinger, Bouvet Ladubay is once again fully owned by the Monmousseau family who have continuously run the business since their purchase in 1932. Bouvet Ladubay employs precisely the same wine making process as Grand Marque Champagne, delivering French sophistication at an everyday price.

Hands down the best sub $20 Sparkling on the market today.

A lacy white mousse sits over a very pale straw coloured base with a slight tinge of pale gold around the edges threaded by a very fine bead that shows great persistence. Lifted pear and baked apple aromas intermingle with citrusy yeast lees characters and hints of breadiness. Deliciously appetizing with both a stimulating freshness and delicate creaminess that give it a light airy mouthfeel, the flavours of pear, baked bread, subtle cashew and yeast lees are more finely meshed than ever before. A bite of refreshing citrus and crisp acidity present on the dry finish. Ends with a pear, baked bread, yeast lees and citrus aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
