81. Alliance Champagne, Champagne A. Charpentier Brut, NV

£9; 12.5%

Easy drinking Champagne, which was well worth it at half-price from Tesco! Pale straw colour with pleasant acidity and medium-small bubbles to add a little crispness. Described as “floral aromas” but I’d add some amount of apricotty-fruit.
