Waitrose, Blanc de Noirs Brut, Champagne, France NV

Good structure, character and great value define Waitrose's own Blanc de Noirs, with its well-defined cranberry, sour cherry and pink grapefruit flavours and seductive salinity. A subtle mineral core adds poise and ensures length. Elegant and a pleasure to drink.

Lovely soft Bramley apple characters and toasted fruit bread aromas, injected with cinnamon and spice. Comforting notes of warm pastry, and a long, complex finish.
