Drinking Window: 2019 - 2024
Aldi's Veuve Monsigny Brut (£12.49) from husband and wife team Stéphane and Virginie Philizot always gets deserved praise, as should this new cuvée, available in April. It's made from a 2008 base along with reserve still and sparkling wines dating back to 1999. It has structured, crisp green apple fruit with citrus acidity and creamy, biscuit complexity.
