This value champagne, a medium straw hue, has a crisp apple frame with toasty notes and a fine nutty layer. The mousse is, perhaps, less fine and creamy than others, but more refined mousee commands a higher price point. It is very enjoyable for occasions. We drank it twice: New Year's Eve toasting for 2002 and recently (2005) we enjoyed it with breaded, broiled sea scallops, snap peas and fresh baguette soaking up a single-orchard extra-virgin olive oil from the Tuscan coast. It is a fine match to many meals!

Wonderful Brut, great for that special evening and won't burn a hole in your pocket.

This house continues to send solid Champagne from France with bright apple fruit with minerals and hazelnuts, complete with delicate toastiness. Excellent price/quality.

This beautiful premier cru Champagne comes from a cooperative of growers. It has ripe nearly tropical style fruit and toasty yeasty fruit. Excellent stuff for under $30!!

At this price point there are better choices, but this is a perfectly nice brut.

Good toastiness, but large-ish bubbles.
