Tasting Note: Sobi, Bentu Luna, 2019
Comments = If you have the chance (it is a very tiny production) to get your hand on this beautiful and underrated wine, I cannot advice you to buy it. It is the kind of wine that I really like, a prime example of what Sardinian artisan craftsmanship can bring to the world of wine. It has a long and very complex finish.

Tasting Note: Crémant de Bourgogne, Patriarche Père & Fils, Brut, Non Vintage

Tasting Note: Champagne, André BERGERE, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Nature, Non Vintage
Comments = This Champagne offers you an incredible value for money. A well done Brut Nature that focuses on minerality, acidity and a refined bubbles. The aromas are noticeable and balanced but the acidity and the tensed Chardonnay aromatics together with a very low residual sugar are clearly the strong suit of this Champagne. It offers you an incredible value for money at around 30 euros!
Final Grade = B+
