Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Aged for 5 years in the bottle, this traditional method bubbly from Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, is made from 100% organic estate l'Acadie Blanc, and displays aromas of bruised apple, peach tart, honey roasted almonds, jasmine, hints of pineapple, and saline minerality.

Dry and medium bodied on the palate with fine bubbles, a pleasant creamy mouthfeel, and notes of crab apple and pomelo, with subtle saline notes, and a long finish.

L'Acadie Blanc has similarities with Chardonnay in terms of body and some of the characteristics, in my opinion, although I find it has more of a floral, honey, and peach-apricot profile. Try this one with fried chicken, tempura fried cauliflower, or with pasta alfredo.

This bottle is a treat and I loved it.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
