Since 1886, Grandin has produced an excellent quality sparkling wine from the Loire Valley, home to the world's finest sparkling wines. At a reasonable price, Grandin produces exclusively by the ÐM_thode Traditionelle.Ó Identical to the method used in Champagne, the "M_thode Traditionelle" requires rigorous grape selection , constant quality, and a minimum 12 month second fermentation.French bubbly made from outside Champagne but still in the traditional method. Pale straw color with gold reflection and persistent bubbles. Delicate almond fragrance with undertones of hazelnut, subtle touch of clove and lime tree. Crisp and elegant.
Gold at the International Wines and Spirits Competition and rated by Wine Spectator alongside Moet saying "Yellow gold fruity bouquet, crisp finish. Outstanding quality." Also Michael Cooper writes "This vivacious bubbly, from a long-established Loire Valley producer, is made by the classic methode traditionnelle technique. Light lemon/green, with an eruption of small bubbles, it is fresh and lively, with good delicacy and depth. Very easy to enjoy, it offers plenty of citrusy, appley, slightly yeasty and toasty flavour and an appetisingly crisp finish." Simply unbelievable value.
