Gruet, Blanc de Noirs



Cost: $11 at Costcos.
Smell: Strong, grapes, slightly "sour"
When it hits the tongue: A second of tartness, then a bitter grape taste with the typical bubbly effect. Not very dry.
Aftertaste: sweeter, leaves you wanting another sip.

Overall, it was tasty, unless you're someone who only likes "sweet drinks." Then I would go in a different direction. This is one of the most popular sparklers I see. However, I personally can't rave about it.

Edit: Since I couldn't finish it in one night, I finished it the next day and it was a lot more tart, almost sour-grape tasting. But it was still very bubbly. Just thought you should know!

Cheers!
