Rivarose Brut Pretige Rosé Sparkling

A Mediterranean wine, this rosé has a light pink hue with a distinct berry bouquet. A nice dry berry taste that finishes well. My rating 8.5/10.

De Chanceny Crémant de Loire Brut

The colour is pale yellow. The bouquet is light apple. It has a light acidity with a green-apple tartness with a citrusy finish. My rating 8.5/10.

 

Sieur d'Arques Crémant de Limoux Grande Cuvée 1531

Made in Limoux in the Languedoc-Roussillon region from 55% Chardonnay, 35% Chenin, with 10% Mauzac. From the LCBO website: "This Limoux crémant displays aromas of dried herbs, grapefruit and orchard fruits. The balanced palate of dry character offers flavors of citrus, apple and white peach." I note the dry citrusy flavour which I enjoy. Complex and well-bodied. My rating 8.5/10 (Natalie MacLean gives it an 89).
