Friday, November 16, 2007 - A good bargain. From an unusual Blanc de Blancs blend of Ugni Blanc and Airén grapes. This budget Brut is pale yellow in color. Plenty of bubbles, but they’re a bit too big for my liking. Inviting yeasty nose. Surprisingly, not near as yeasty on the palate. Zesty flavors of apple and citrus, but not without a bit of bitterness. Mistakable for a New World sparking wine. Quite good QPR. Overall, Francois Montand proves to be a solid everyday budget bubbly from France.
