Fizz that isn't Champagne but is a better example of fizz than many a Champagne. At Champalou the work is painstaking. Impeccably looked-after vines, perfect soil conditions, by-hand work in the cellars. This has everything you could want, from the brioche through to the ripe fruit. Tasty. ABV: 13%
