Always reliable, Aldi is on hand with some new bargain bottles to raise a glass to this autumn. Proving that the likes of Veuve Clicquot and Moet and Chandon aren’t the only choice when it comes to champagne, a £10.99 bottle has gone viral on social media as an alternative to Laurent Perrier.
The budget supermarket’s specially selected crémant du jura features in its recently launched Christmas range. Quickly catching the attention of wine influencers online, the fizz has received rave reviews.
See Lucy Hitchcock, founder of Partner in Wine, who described the tipple as “the real Laurent Perrier champagne dupe” when conducting a taste test comparison.
She pointed out how it’s made in the exact same way as champagne (sans the hefty price tag). “Make sure you stock up in time for Christmas,” she added.
If you needed further convincing, though, the drink won gold at this year’s Drinks Business Sparkling Masters award. Here’s everything you need to know.
Aldi specially selected crémant du jura: £10.99, Aldi.co.uk
Launched last year, it was a hit among shoppers. So much so that it sold out – but it’s back just in time for 2024 festivities.
Boasting flavours of apple and citrus fruits, the drink is described as fresh and elegant. Lucy highlighted how it’s made from 100 per cent chardonnay, just like premium champagne. Made in exactly the same way as Laurent Perrier fizz, which costs upwards of £50, Aldi’s will set you back just £10.99 on your weekly shop.
You’ll want to act fast to avoid missing out on a bottle for Christmas 2024.
