TASTING NOTES
Bright, golden straw colour. A complex combination of flavours with a touch of hazelnut and citrus fruits. It rolls happily into a fruity mouthful of juicy, flavours. Delicate almond characters with undertones of hazelnut, subtle touch of clove and limes. Crisp and elegant, a well rounded, easy to enjoy palate, with good fruit, fresh flavours and depth of flavour.
REVIEWS
Since 1886, Grandin has produced an excellent sparkling from the Loire Valley in southern France. You'll find apples, floral and citrus characters with a touch of honey and yeast. Great French for a fraction of the price. John Lehman, Range News (28/OCT/2010)
Fruit for this classic Champagne is sourced from the Loire, Charentes and South West of France. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle before being aged for a minimum of 12 months to create a Champagne that is well balanced with toasty notes.National Liquor News (01/OCT/2010)
