Alfred Gratien Brut NV

[VouvrayHead]

Gary V's once-a-day site had this for $26.66, so I bought 3 (which came with free shipping).
This is a really nice little NV. It's got some nice, clean fruit of orange and mango with a very friendly frame of acids and a teensy touch of sweetness that I'd consider a tiny bit over the average brut (I don't know the dosage). A bit of nuttiness rounds it out. Mostly PM and Chardonnay, and very, very pleasant wine. It's a great buy at that price, and would be worth a buy at $10 more competing with Duval Leroy for good champagne at the lowest price range for the real stuff.
