Review: NV Domaine Bousquet Charmat Brut

We lately tried Argentina’s Domaine Bousquet Charmat Brut Rosé, and at this time we swing round to attempt Domaine Bousquet Charmat Brut.

This wine is the mirror picture of the previous, with the rosé sparkler being 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay the common brut reversing these proportions. Pale straw in coloration, this glowing wine has a really mild nostril, providing mild notes of granny smith apples and lemon. There may be ample effervescence, however the bubbles are considerably giant, lending the wine a little bit of a seltzer mouthfeel and fewer of the silky creaminess that’s the hallmark of fine Champagne. The fizz settles a bit and the mouthfeel improves after a couple of minutes within the glass and as you make your means via the bottle.

The palate is way more ahead than the nostril with barely candy lemon and lime coming first, adopted once more by a contact of granny smith apple. The excessive acidity assist it pair nicely with meals, however the end is pretty brief. For the value, although, it’s actually value attempting.
