*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for the brand.
Thursday of last week was the annual arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau from France. That is really not my thing, so I celebrated by drinking French wine, but not Beaujolais Nouveau. The holidays tend to make people think of sparkling wine to toast at all the parties and belt-widening dinners and cookies. I’ve made a big effort the last few years to drink sparkling wine throughout the year, but must admit I still drink more of between now and January 1 than I do the rest of the year! We started out this season with the Jaillance Cremant de Bordeaux Cuvee de l’Abbaye. The Jaillance has a traditional Champagne closure, clocks in at 12% alcohol by volume, and retails for about $19.
Four takeaways from this wine:
1.) It’s never a bad thing when my first note for a wine is “yum.”
2.) The bready-yeasty notes just jumped out of the glass.
3.) If you greeted me at the door with a glass of this at your party I’d think you are awesome.
4.) I’m adding this to my list of sub-$20 house sparklers.
On the nose I got lemon, pear, yeast, sourdough, bread, and apple notes. In the mouth the yeast carried through with lemon, green apple, and pear. The wine had great acidity and bubbles. I was definitely happy with my selection to celebrate French wine '.
