Average Score: 3/10 |

| One of the best selling bubblies on the market and the only one that's 100% Sav Blanc, it tastes just like Sav with bubbles. What's not to like? |

| Comment: |
Fruity, sweet nose, but is actually quite dry - disappointing mousse - it disappears. Too much of this will give you a serious headache |
| Occasion: |
Where the in-laws have stayed over and the eyes are quite scratchy, the head not quite clear. |
| Food Match: |
Breakfast where the bacon & eggs are the prime focus |

| One wouldn't normally think of chocolate with bubbly but it went surprisingly well. This is a new MCC offering from JC Le Roux and is off-dry. Don't shy away from slightly sweeter bubblies - they go well with food and even with pudding after a meal |
