Great Buys in French Champagne and Crément Sparkling Wines 2006

by Jonathan M. Forester, Posted Dec 27th 2006 @ 12:01PM

I have been putting together a list of some of the best buys in French Champagne & Crément Sparkling Wine for the holidays, combing stores and the internet for weeks looking for great wines. Each of the sparklers is a good buy for the money, tasty, and interesting. I tried to include as many Rosé bubblies as possible since they are very hot and trendy right now. Those in the know have been enjoying their great combination of dry fruit and nose tickling effervescence for years. The following list doesn't have everything out there, but each of these is a great wine for the price, from low to high, they're all worth it. If you have any suggestions please tell us what, where, and how much. Happy Holidays Everyone!
