Sainsbury’s Blanc de Blancs Brut NV Champagne Review

Posted on by

We have been reviewing a lot of champagne here at Frost Magazine. It is a pretty awesome job made even better when you get a bottle of really good stuff to review. Enter Sainsbury’s Blanc de Blancs Brut NV Champagne. A crisp, dry, delicious, delicate and floral champagne made solely from the chardonnay grape. It comes from family producer Duval-Leroy. It is an excellent champagne, with good breadth, freshness and a dry finish. It is also very well balanced. 

 

Sainsbury's Blanc de Blancs Champagne NV review

 

This bottle may be Sainsbury’s own brand but it is just as good as the expensive brands. Really stunning.

 

All champagne comes from the champagne region in France because it creates the best sparkling wines in the world. It is blessed with a unique combinations of conditions. If it comes from somewhere else, it isn’t champagne. Prosecco comes from Italy, Cava from Spain. You probably already knew that, but worth noting.

 

£22.50 from Sainsbury’s.

 

Snack Attack! Snack Ideas From Frost

Choc Shot Liquid Chocolate

This is a brilliant invention. This liquid hot chocolate just needs to be stirred into hot milk. However it’s a hot chocolate that is not just for drinking. You can spread on toast, squeeze and shake for a milk shake and drizzle over ice cream, porridge and fruit. It tastes great, like a high quality dark chocolate. Not the bitter ones though, it is very sweet. It is 100% natural, low GI, GM and gluten-free, vegan and only 14 calories per tsp. Wow and wow. I think we just found out how we are going to be getting our chocolate fixes from now on.
