Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Champagne - 750ml

We popped this for a weekday dinner and the green apple and citrus notes made it feel fancier than the price tag. The honey and brioche hints came through just enough to keep it interesting without being heavy.

The green apple and pear notes hit right up front, and that honey-brioche finish makes it dangerously easy to keep sipping. Poured a few glasses for a casual dinner and everyone asked what we were celebrating—it's just that good for the price.

The brioche and toasty yeast undertones give it a more complex feel than I expected from a bubbly at this price. It’s sweet enough to sip on its own, though I’d probably skip it if you’re after a bone-dry brut.
