Bernard-Massard Cuvée de L’Écusson Brut Sparkling

45% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Blanc, 15% Pinot Noir. This is a classy example of a sparkling wine. Citrus notes to start, followed by cream and pineapple, quite possibly piña colada too. There’s excellent purity and freshness, making this light, enjoyable and difficult not to recall in a year or two. Best in Show: Best Value Sparkling. Score – 95. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2017)
