Tasting - Chandon Sweet Cuvee


  • Chandon Sweet Cuvee NV Sparkling Wine
  • Pinot Noir/Chardonnay 
  • Sonoma County, California
  • USA
  • Non-Vintage
  • $9.95
  • Wine Spectator gave the wine a score of 88 points
  • First of all I immediately enjoyed the color of this wine, which was a rich copper. It is a sparkling wine and the initial bouquet provided a spicy scent possible clove. The taste provided a strong mineral and earthy taste initially, but it did not get spicy until it hit the end of my palette. Obviously this wine was full bodied and it had some complexity that I was not expecting from this sparkling wine. Even better, the spice was not overpowering on the way down it, rather it was satisfying.
  • I did not have food but anything would have been good with it.
