2023 Bouvet Saphir Brut Vintage

Full of flavour, mouth watering and possessing an airy feel, this is one of the best value Sparklings going around.

Outside of Champagne, Bouvet is the most awarded Sparkling Wine House in France, garnering high praise from critics like Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Decanter Magazine, James Suckling and many others. After many years of ownership by Champagne Taittinger, Bouvet Ladubay is once again fully owned by the Monmousseau family who have continuously run the business since their purchase in 1932. Bouvet Ladubay employs precisely the same wine making process as Grand Marque Champagne, delivering French sophistication at an everyday price.
A fine satiny mousse gracefully declines in the glass. Very pale straw coloured base with pale gold edges threaded by a very fine and persistent bead. Pear, green apple and citrus aromas greet the nostrils with some subtle baked bread and oyster shell like notes also evident. Full of flavour and carrying an airy pillowy like feel, the mouth watering palate is awash with pear, baked bread, citrus and red apple flavours. Subtle yeast lees and quince characters linger across the back half. Refreshing acidity invigorating the long baked apple, quince and yeast lees finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
