This $12 cava proves that bubbles don’t have to break the bank

Spring is a season for celebrations, from graduations to weddings and even an above-average day at the office. Here are three sparkling wines at a range of prices to help you cheer the good times.

Honor Brut Selecció Cava

(2.5 stars)

This brut and a sibling rosé that costs just a dollar more demonstrate why Spain’s cava is my first choice for bargain sparklers. Peach and apricot flavors are embraced by a squirt of lime, and each sip finishes with a smile. Alcohol by volume: 12 percent. Bottle weight: 895 grams (Sparkling).

Imported and distributed locally by Wide Roots.

Anderson Valley, Calif., $37

From the California branch of the Louis Roederer champagne house, Roederer Estate has been producing some of California’s top bubbly for four decades in Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically and the care shows in the depth of flavor apparent in the wine. It’s fruitier than most champagne, although it may be hard to tell the difference. ABV: 12.5 percent. BW: 865 grams (Sparkling).

Distributed locally by Republic National.

Champagne Bertrand Senecourt, Beau Joie Special Cuvée Brut

(3.5 stars)

This 60-40 blend of pinot noir and chardonnay does a great job of balancing vibrant acidity, flavors of red currants and berries, and a crisp minerally finish. Although not indicated on the label, the website notes that no dosage is added to balance the wine with sweetness. None was needed. ABV: 12 percent. BW: 835 grams (Sparkling).

Imported by Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. Distributed locally by Breakthru Beverage Group.
