Chateau de Bligny Grand Brut $34 Grand Rosé $46
“A blend of half and half Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this Champagne is ripe and mature. It is a finely balanced wine, rich while keeping a fresh aftertaste. Drink now”. — Roger Voss WE 91pts
Charles de Cazanove Brut NV $37 1.5L (Magnum) $70
“Ethereal” is the word that floated into my head with the first sip of this Champagne. With its delicate floral and mineral aromas and flavors, its harmonious chords of fresh fruit and toasted brioche, its perfect little bubbles and fine finish, it is a beauty. The blend is 10% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier and 60% Pinot Noir. In addition to being a perfect aperitif, this Champagne is complex enough to be a good partner for certain foods: caviar, obviously, but also other lightly salty fare such as smoked salmon, prosciutto and other such classics, and of course robust cheeses such as Parmigiano. Try it also with lobster risotto and — trust me on this — fried chicken (go on, put that Air Fryer you got for Christmas to work).

Champagne J. Lassalle Preference Brut Premier Cru – $48
Cuvée Preference is made in bigger volumes. This is the cuvée that “expresses the spirit of the house”. It is smooth but with a distinct, lively acidity which freshens up the palate.
“Bright pale yellow color. Freshness associated with minerality first appear. Then fruitiness settles with fragances of ripe yellow fruits (apricot, peach). They are underlined with a hint of licorice or even fennel, a typical feature of fine Pinots Noirs from the Montagne de Reims. The palate is round, smooth, and bright. The texture oscillates from roundness / vinosity to freshness / minerality (chalky) on the palate. The finish is slightly saline and gives an everlasting quality to this wine. A very balanced and full-bodied champagne.” From the House
Ayala, Champagne “Majeur” Brut NV – $54
Disgorged 10/2020
Jeb Dunnuck – November 8, 2022 “The NV Champagne Majeur Brut is inviting, with ripe aromas of lemon balm, pear, and fresh baked bread. The mousse fills the palate and cleans up with pithy orange, Parmesan, and dusty chalk. I like this for its lightly savory touch and a bit more concentration.” -A.F 11/22
Marc Hebrart Champagne Brut Selection NV – $68
Disgorged March 2022 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay
“The NV Champagne Selection Brut is 65% Pinot Noir and the remainder Chardonnay, with 70% is coming from the 2018 vintage, 25% from 2016, and the rest from 2015. The aromas are more rounded and have a bit more orchard fruit and berries, with ripe peach, raspberry, and almond flour. The palate is characteristically fresh and fruity with red cherry, a fair bit of density, salinity, and a broader approach. Drink over the next 15 years. Best after 2022.” Jeb Dunnick 91pts
