The one thing that I have realized about a lot of sparkling wines is that they really don't have much flavor; that is the sparkling wines not made out of something different than Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. I left Pinot Noir out of this, because Pinot Noir gives you Blanc de Noirs, and if you've been reading my articles, you know that Chardonnay is actually a hybrid of Pinot Noir.

I go out of my way to look for Blanc de Noirs, wanting something a little bit more fruity and chewy. This wine does not disappoint. Sinking my teeth into it, I can actually taste both strawberry and raspberry, and while the dosage is probably no where near a demi-sec, it still has a good amount of sweetness to it.

This wine is a winner, and would be great for throwing in either blackberries or raspberries, letting them sit, and serving them to your significant other.
