I was sent through a packet of Mince Pies and a bottle of their Philippe Michel Crémant du Jura Sparkling Chardonnay. It is available all year round for just £6.99 a bottle!
A multi-award winner, Philippe Michel Crémant du Jura Sparkling Chardonnay is produced in the same way as Champagne. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on the slopes of the Jura Mountains, its second fermentation, which creates the sparkle, is carried out in the bottle. This refreshingly dry vintage has crisp citrus notes and a pleasing length, meaning that it would be well-matched with light starters, such as seafood.
Philippe Michel Crémant du Jura Sparkling Chardonnay has scooped an array of awards, including Silver International Wine Challenge 2011, Bronze International Wine & Spirit Challenge 2011 and Quality Drink Awards Finalist 2011.
Never let it be said that I a not completely devoted to trying out products to give my opinion, so I took the hard task of sampling the bubbly! It was a lovely flavour, and in all honestly it tasted good! This would be perfect for weddings and parties, it would give an expensive edge on a tight budget!
We also tested out Specially Selected Mince pies.
The epitome of Christmas, no dinner table is complete without an abundance of mince pies. Aldi’s Specially Selected Mince Pies are filled with the finest Mediterranean fruit, which has been dried naturally in the Mediterranean sun, then laced with French Brandy and a hint of mixed spice for a festive kick. The luxurious filling is wrapped in indulgent all-butter pastry and oven baked until golden brown
These were deeply filled with luxurious fruit, they went down a hit with my husband, and my son managed to eat one too, and loved them! They are just £1.69 for a pack of 6, and are available in Aldi stores now and throughout the whole Christmas period.
