So, the folks at Gloria Ferrer decided to do something new with having Muscat in the mix instead of the traditional Pinot Munier, but it does add a slight interesting twist to the mix. I was just telling Katey, a bartender at Vintage in Philly about what makes a traditional Champagne, and here this one comes along. 89% Pinot Noir, 8% Chardonnay and 3% Muscat, this has something of a backtaste of butter, which takes away the crisp melon that you get normally from method champagnoise.

I will tell you, I like their Grand Cuvee a lot better, as no matter what they tried, they didn't capture the magic there. Some of of you might like this, but I give the GC a solid ten.
