The review, it’s right down below!

What does it taste like?

Crafted from Muscat grapes the Barton & Guestier non alcoholic sparkling brings such a unique approach to the non-alcoholic sparkling market.

In each glass you’ll fine, bright and bouncy carbonation that carries flavours that are made up of:

• fruity notes with a big base of sweet lychee + hints of mandarin/orange;
• rose petals and delicate floral notes (sorry, I know that sounds over the top but it really is a delicate smell of blossoms); and
• honey sweetness.

The sparkling itself has a good, well-weighted body and is not thin or watery.

While this might be on the sweeter side, it is an entirely different sweetness to what you’re used to. The sweetness is really coming from the floral notes and fruity profile, which means the non-alcoholic sparkling does a great job at still being quite refreshing and easy to drink.

What does it look like?

When in your glass, you’ll be glad to hear that the Barton & Guestier non alcoholic sparkling is:

• crisp and a pale straw; 
• full of fine fast moving bubbles.

It fits the brief and is exactly what you’re looking for from a non alcoholic french sparkling.

The approach B&G have taken with the label is an ode to tradition and it brings a super-premium feel and finish. The ribbing in the bottleneck sleeve is a nice touch!

When would I drink the Barton & Guestier non alcoholic?

Two Sparkling reviews without my COVID-bubble-buddy. Means, once again, its all up to me to bring you the guide to pairing and what its suited to!

Floral notes, slightly sweeter and built on some strong fruity notes – the Barton & Guestier non alcoholic sparkling is perfect for:

• an afternoon aperitif; and
• dessert when served with a raspberry pannacotta.

The age old question, would I drink it again? The answer – yeah, absolutely. I’d save this one for that specific dessert or when I wanted to get a bit of surprise and delight on something a bit different. But again, that’s just due to my tastes being tailored towards dryer tasting wines.
