Paul Cheneau NV Lady of Spain Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Maybe you’ve seen the cool yellow wrapper with a shapely woman that adorns this versatile Cava, but what’s inside merits attention as well. After melon, banana and spice aromas the palate takes over with citrus and mango flavors. Distinguished due to its solid mouthfeel and good natural carbonation. Pour on its own, with food or in a mimosa.

Paul Cheneau NV Blanc de Blancs Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- $16
A little bit round given that it’s a blanc de blancs, with applesauce and spice on the nose. The palate deals a white-fruit mélange that’s one part tangy and one part generous. Holds steady on the finish and doesn’t show any warts or faults. Nice Cava with an elevated persona.

Paul Cheneau 1994 Grande Reserve Brut Sparkling (Penedès)
- $20
A tête de cuvée selection aged more than 30 months on the lees. Pears, bananas, grapefruits, pineapples and hazelnuts in the nose. Creamy, toasty, mature, integrated flavors and a long, rich, lingering finish with some tropical-fruit, citrus and bitter-almond flavors.

Paul Cheneau NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Sparkling (Cava)
- $18
Slightly low on kick and bubbles for a blanc de blancs, but the wine’s mix of green herb, apple, green banana and melon flavors is good and offers the proper set up to a finish that’s citrusy as can be and only slightly pithy. Seems a touch flat or it might have rated even higher.

Paul Cheneau NV Blanc de Blancs Sparkling (Penedès)
- Best Buy
- $8
Sounds French, but Paul Cheneau is a cava from Penedès in northeast Spain. It gets my vote as the world's best sparkling wine under $10. One of the secrets of its success? A top winemaker from Champagne is the consultant. A good choice for mimosas.

Paul Cheneau NV Blanc de Blancs Reserva Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- $17
A mellow nose includes aromas of applesauce and peach. The palate is clean, smooth and round, with standard green apple and fresh apricot flavors. Turns slightly sweet on the finish, but maintains a crisp edge throughout.

Paul Cheneau NV Lady of Spain Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- $15
Aromas of apple cider and mild spice get it going in a good direction, and this colorfully packaged cava does pretty well in the mouth, where the texture is on the soft side and the flavors of apple and orange run a bit sweet. Not complex but good, fluffy and yeasty.

Paul Cheneau NV Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Full and heavy, with mango and orange juice flavors. Creamy in the mouth, with a full, foamy feel. Good citrus and apple characteristics keep it moving forward, while the weight is definitely there. Good in cava cocktails or as a Spanish mimosa.
