Benjamin Bridge Méthode Classique Reserve Brut Sparkling 2013

Nova Scotia’s premier sparkling producer is responsible for this gracefully ageing vintage number that offers a powerhouse of toasty creaminess, brine and a lasting note of citrus zest. A true stunner at the price, this assemblage of 71% chardonnay and 29% pinot meunier has just enough dosage to add richness without feeling overly slick. An immediately appealing style that is a versatile fit for a varied crowd. Score – 92. (Sara d’Amato, winealign.com, Dec. 18, 2018)
