If you find Champagne too expensive and are bored with Prosecco and Cava and the Southern Hemisphere alternatives, then try this: Cuvée des Anges Montlouis sur Loire AC sparkling wine brut. This dry white sparkling wine is produced from Chenin Blanc grapes in the Montlouis sur Loire appellation near Tours in the Loire Valley. The limestone soils and climate here are perfect for the growth of the Chenin Blanc grape.
The sparkling wine produced is refined with a medium body and it has a well balanced acidity with a taste of green fruits and lemon. The wine is dry and will clear your palate. It is best as an aperitif in my opinion, but would go down well with a dessert or even throughout a meal. I find it more refreshing than Prosecco and it does leave an unpleasant after taste, like some cheap sparkling wines do. It should not be compared with Champagne in either terms of taste or quality. It needs to be tasted and assessed in its own right. We bought it for about 7 Euros a bottle in France, and this means that is exceptional value for money when you compare taste and quality with cost. You can even buy it in the UK, so try it; I think you won't be disappointed.
