15 person Champagne tasting with friends.

We inserted what we all feeling is more or less the gold standard of n/v Rose’ to pair with duck and goat cheese on crostinis. — 18 days ago

With New Years around the corner, grab something nice. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " (or villages), from the North & South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous Cote de Bouzy. Deep salmon pink with full aromas of berry fruit and citrus mineral notes wrapped in a delicate fine mousse. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, bright acidity with spicy notes and orange zest. Long silky finish, ending with earthy yeasty mineral character. — 22 days ago

An immaculately golden color in the glass with vigorous perlage. At first the nose is resplendent with floral aromas. Just so, so very pretty. Freshly baked bread, lemon peel, and just the faintest hint of cinnamon. Stone fruit, mint, and rosemary to boot.

Pure Chardonnay from the four Grand Cru villages of Mesnil, Chouilly, Avize, and Cramant. Aged for up to five years on lees with a dosage of 8 g/l. Exquisite and as graceful as a ballerina, this is easily one of the best NV Blanc de Blancs around. Silky smooth but with tension and excitement for days.

Exceedingly pure and vibrant. Let it sit for a while and those gorgeous floral accents begin to fade and the fruit becomes more noticeable. Citrus and stone fruits with a touch of pepper. The finish is long and lovely. I could drink this every single day. — 4 months ago
