Tony Aspler’s Wine of the Week: Cattier Brut Champagne

This is a perfect gift for your accountant who just saved you a wad of money on your tax return. Treat him or her to champagne, but the least expensive one; after all, you’re not made of money. This is a bargain-priced champagne that’s the real deal. Straw coloured with a fine beading. The wine has a nose of apples and white flowers; it’s soft and creamy on the palate with apple and peach flavours, finishing dry with lively acidity.

$39.95, Vintages #919464.
