Aaaahhhhh… here is a dream you won’t want to wake from. When it comes to Cuvée de Prestige sparklers, it’s hard to beat the value represented by this bottling year in and year out. It is easily on a par with the best that Champagne has to offer at prices that can push well beyond this. It’s got it all – apple, pear, a little oak spice, brioche, lemon creme dry style, persistence, and best of all – pure pleasure. The dream come true is just that yet again.
