Description Roche Lacour, a much-loved vintage French bubbly made in exactly the same way as vintage Champagne, is a winner of two recent Golds. Nearly half of it is oak fermented – an expensive, rare technique (just like $450-a-bottle Krug!) making it rich, biscuity, with ripe peach and creamy citrus zest. It’s made beneath the cool hills of Limoux by Laurent Mingaud, who also makes the enchanting Gold medal Roche rosé. Risky Business Prosecco, with Gold and 95pts from the Halliday Wine Companion, is a real beauty. Enjoy two bottles of each for a very reasonable $24.99 a bottle and save $46.
No wonder Roche Lacour has become our best-loved vintage fizz of all time. It’s made using the same painstaking process as Grande Marque Champagne, yet is far better value. With toasty richness, it's the smartest way to pop a cork and add a sparkle.
A superb alternative to pink Champagne, at a much more affordable price. It's made in the perfect cool climate of Limoux, in the same exacting manner as vintage Champagne. A fine, distinguished fizz, brimming with classic, strawberry-scented finesse.
Gold, 95pt Prosecco using fruit from the King Valley a region well known for its Italian varieties, including Glera, Prosecco’s celebrated grape.
