WineScores' Review

Generous, classic, mouthwatering.
Bartier Bros. first sparkling wine release, this traditionally made brut, a blanc de blanc, is made entirely from Chardonnay. The initial vintage was 2019 and portions of each vintage are held back to create future releases. It was aged in stainless steel for 4 months then in barrel for 12 months. It was disgorged in late 2022 and features classic brut characteristics of warm yellow apples and wild honey, lemon brioche, dried quince and churned butter. It has a mouthfilling and generous palate with yellow fruits, toast and dried pear and pineapple flavours. It's creamy but has notable tension.
Bravo.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
