This wine sees the addition of 4% of Coteau Rouge, from the old vine Champs Richard. Pair with roast pork with beets and Soumaintrain.

Staff Pick Notes

A tremendous Rosé Champagne that gives the Billecart Rosé brut a run for its money. Made by a female winemaker from a line of female winemakers, who grow the grapes as well. Grower Champagne is trendy right now, but this stuff is old school cool. This is Kermit Lynch's favorite champagne, one of only 2 Champagnes his company imports. Pinot Noir dominates the blend here, but this, while richer, is still super crisp and mineral. Four years of lees aging before disgorgement and malo give this a luscious texture without any oak at all. Just a dream of a Champagne.

Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Champagne

Champagne is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a brilliant food wine. For consistency and quality, turn to the big Champagne brands and you’ll never go wrong. Remember that “Non-Vintage” (NV) is not a dirty word here: NV Champagnes are blends of wines from the best growing seasons. But if you can find one, try a Champagne made by a Grower-Producer. These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
