Emilie Laurance Blanc De Blancs Brut

Looking for an affordable French bubbly that looks as good as it tastes? Say hello (or bonjour) to Emilie. Emilie Laurance. She’s made by the Ackerman winemakers in the Loire Valley, the oldest sparkling wine maker in the Loire Valley region.

NZ Master of Wine Steve Bennett travels the globe hunting down spectacular bargains and he’s landed another one right here! It’s a “Blanc de Blancs” style fizz which means it’s made entirely from white grapes, this one made with Loire Valley Chenin Blanc grapes.

It also got the tick of approval from another NZ Master of Wine, Bob Campbell…

91/100 & Buy of the Week (December 2019) – Bob Campbell MW
“Good balance with ripe acidity and a dry finish”

90/100 (4.5 Stars) – Sam Kim
“A gorgeous anytime sparkling offering elegance and immediate drinkability”

A clean, crisp and refreshing bubbles that absolutely tastes the part as much as it looks the part in its contemporary light and navy blue coloured label and packaging – which let’s face it is pretty important when you’re serving bubbly at a party!
