September’s wine is the 2013 Philippe Michel Cremant du Jura Chardonnay Brut, France. (£7.99 from www.aldi.co.uk).
Jancis Robinson says:
“Extraordinarily smart packaging for the price. A impressively steady, tiny bead. Smells quite pungent and smoky. Assertive green apples but no aggressive astringency. You can smell the Jura Chardonnay and the whole is a thoroughly satisfying marvel at this price. There’s even a bit of persistence and the finish is clean and dry. No excess of flavour, but in this sort of wine, that’s a compliment. VVGV”
