Chandon Z*D 2000 (review)

79 points

Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. 12.5%

This is a zero dosage wine. Supposed to be a dry aperitif style.

But it is a big parsnipy, fruit salad sparkling. Thank goodness it had no dosage !

Makes one depressed about the ability of Australia to produce really fine sparkling wine. Champagne has nothing to fear.
