GREAT VALUE

Viña Palaciega Cava Brut

(3 stars)

Penedes, Spain, $15

Here’s a bargain bubbly to get any evening off to a good start. Flavors of ripe peach, lime zest and crystallized ginger lead to a soft finish that can only end with a smile. The cava brut designation means it was aged a minimum of nine months on the lees. Alcohol by volume: 11.5 percent.

Albert Bichot Brut Réserve Crémant de Bourgogne

(3.5 stars)

Burgundy, France, $22

I’m tempted to call Crémant de Bourgogne the “poor man’s champagne,” but I can already hear producers objecting. “It’s a burgundy,” they would say. And they would be correct, of course. But this example from Albert Bichot is top-notch fizz at a modest price compared to the much vaunted neighbor from the north. A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, aged 18 to 20 months before disgorging, it shows complexity and nuance as ripe orchard fruit flavors dance with notes of toasty brioche. ABV: 12 percent.

GREAT VALUE

Juvé & Camps Reserva de la Familia Gran Reserva Cava Brut Nature 2017

(3.5 stars)

Penedes, Spain, $24

Key words to note on the label: Brut nature means no dosage of sweetness is added when the wine is finished, so we have a bone-dry bubbly meant to showcase the fruit. Gran reserva indicates this wine was aged on its lees for at least 30 months to develop complexity — Juvé & Camps ages its gran reserva more than 36 months. The vintage year indicates this is not a multi-vintage blend intended to showcase a house style; rather, it is meant to express the vintage. There is no disgorgement date — information I appreciate seeing on a label — to give us an indication of how long the wine aged, but we have enough to know this is a high-end cava with a very modest price tag. Impeccably balanced, the wine offers scintillating berry and currant flavors with a lush texture and vibrant acidity that will invigorate your palate with every sip. ABV: 12 percent.
