LAURENT
PERRIER
NV Brut Rose
Packing extraordinary flavor for the price, this salmon-hued
bubbly positively sings with the flavors of wild strawberries.
A wonderful pre-dinner drink, it also makes a perfect
way to start the day. $$$$.
LANSON
NV Brut Black Label
A classic brut-style sparkling wine, it offers elegance
at a very fair price. With its bread-dough aromas,
citrus notes and clean finish, its the kind
of wine that fits any occasion. $$
G.H. MUMM
NV Brut Chardonnay Mumm de Cramant
Delicate and floral aromas lead the way to a wonderfully
juicy flavor. It lingers long on the palate with a
rich, toastiness from oak influence. $$$$.
NICHOLAS FEUILLATTE
1995 Brut Cuvee Palm DOr
For those looking for the flavors of a mature Champagne
without having to pay the price, this wine offers
a richness and full body with hints of bitter hazelnut
and a generous finish. $$$$
POL ROGER
1990 Brut Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill
There are times when a certain winemaker and a certain
vintage come together with near-perfect synergy. In
1990 Sir Winston had his year. A yeasty, brut-style
wine of structure, elegance and just the right amount
of body, this is a bubbly worthy of a very special
toast. $$$$
PIPER-HEIDSIECK
Cuvee Sublime
A stunning new addition to the Heidsieck line, the
demi-sec Sublime is truly
sublime! With aromas
of nutmeg and vanilla, its scents and flavors are
reminiscent of baking cookie dough. Less sweet than
most demi-sec with a nice cut of acidity, it makes
a beautiful accompaniment to a plate of warm chocolate
chip cookies. $$$
G.H. MUMM
Joyesse
A beautiful, new demi-sec from Mumm, the Joyesse may
cause you to make a joyful noise. Sweet hazelnut aromas
lead the way to tangy-sweet flavors and rich weight
on the palate. The wine lingers long on the tongue,
a sweet lemon and anise memory. $$$
LA DEMOISELLE
NV Brut Premier Choix
A rich and robust drink, this Champagne offers the
maturity of an aged vintage bottling without the hefty
price tag. Aromas and flavors blend toasted nuttiness
with lemon pie tartness. What it lacks in finesse
it makes up for in weight and richness. $$$
CHAMPAGNE KRUG
NV Grande Cuvee Brut
This is what every brut Champagne aspires to be. A
wine of great weight and complexity even in its youth,
its aromas and flavors travel the full spectrum from
roasted cashew nuttiness to the heady yeast of fresh
baked bread to the sweet spice of marzipan to the
zing of lemon zest. A pricey treat by general definition,
it is one of the finest bargains in the world of Champagne.
