Tasting – André Strawberry Champagne


Name: André Strawberry Champagne
Winery: André Champagne Cellars
Variety: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay
Region: Modesto, California
Country: USA
Year: non-vintage
Price: $6.99

Wine maker’s notes: Our André Strawberry California champagne is sweet with juicy strawberry and pomegranate aromas, excellent effervescence and a delightful finish. The André Strawberry Sparkling Wine offers bright Strawberry aromas, with nuances of red fruits. In the mouth it is effervescent with a crisp acidity.
My review: I actually really enjoyed this bottle of champagne. I love anything with strawberries in it - and the strawberries definitely came through on the palate. It was a little hot and I felt like the alcohol was a little overpowering - but this wasn't too bad of an investment. It was a nice "end of the week" celebratory wine. It was exactly what the bottle said it would be - a strawberry champagne. No surprises, no disappointments. 
I tasted this on its own with no food.
