Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaThe mainstay cuvée from Nova Scotia / Canada's preeminent sparkling wine house, the current iteration of the ever-evolving BB NV Brut blends 55% L’Acadie, and 45% Chardonnay, and left with 4.5 g/L RS. Both grapes are equally noticeable here, with the fragrant floral blossoms of the former up against the lemon steely backbone of the latter. Lime, white peach, Asian pear fill out the palate, bright with citrine, and fresh with marine air. A lovely, friendly fizz for enjoying now.Tasted: 06 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaBB's classic NV, this traditional method is an estate blend of L’Acadie, Seyval, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, with reserve wines that stretch back over 13 years. Lemon pith, lime pith, white blossoms, and riveting green apple acidity is held at bay by 11 g/L dosage, and thankfully taut on the palate at 12 degrees alcohol. By now, a BB classic, and a brightened (no more vidal) one at that.Tasted: 11 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaAs unique as the story behind this iconic Canadian winery, this NV is from BB's Gaspereau Valley estate vineyard, and a blend of L’Acadie, vidal, seyval, pinot noir, and chardonnay. Highly pointedly and pinkly perfumed: think pink florals, pithy pink grapefruit, tight pink lady apples. The attack is brisk and lively with high-toned florals from the l'acadie, vidal and seyval. Lime pith lingers on the finish, textured with pear skin. The raging acidity easily carries the 13 g/l dosage, leaving it barely and pleasingly off-dry. The Benjamin Bridge reserve library spans over 13 years and includes blending components from its inaugural 2002 vintage all of which contributes to the house style. Big enough for duck, fresh enough for oysters.Tasted: 01 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
