Wine Folly: pg. 94 Champagne - Normally made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We served in a flute glass as recommended to observe the bubbles and artistic effect of the sparkling wine. We did not chill as recommended which was a HUGE mistake. Lots of citrus and lemon on both the nose and the palate as expected and some pear on the palate right when it hits the tongue. Wine folly mentions hints of cream, almond, and toast, which I did not pick up on.

My review: Pretty good for a $8 bottle of sparkling wine advertised as champagne. I liked the hints of pear at the beginning of the tasting although it was not balanced very well and quickly got drowned out by the lemon citrus taste. Quite dry with limited residual sugars and was not overly carbonated. Overall a good purchase to have for a larger group when price per bottle would come into play.

I tasted it on its own without any food pairings.
