Pol Rémy Brut
Similar to the Hacienda Brut and the Domaine Laurier Brut that we reviewed earlier this week, the Pol Rémy Brut comes from the Bronco Wine Company portfolio. But one thing that’s different about it is that it’s from France. I don’t know if the brand is owned by Bronco or just imported, but it is part of their portfolio.
In addition to being French, another thing that’s different about this wine is what’s in it. It’s made from 60% Aïren, 20% Ugni Blanc and 20% Colombard grapes. Which may not be grapes you’re tasting every day.
This wine doesn’t offer much on the nose, except light apple aromas and, if you really dig for it, some very faint yeast aromas. The palate offers a nice, bubbly mouth feel with tart, granny smith apple flavors, as well as some fresh-squeezed lime (as I said, it’s tart) and a touch of mineral, particularly on the finish. It has a hint of bitterness on the finish too. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s acceptable for the price.
