A blend of mostly Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, this sparkling rosé sees 30% still red wine added.

He picks later than almost anyone in the region, and emphasizes the natural ripeness of the grapes and the terroir. Pair with shrimp arancini.

Staff Pick Notes

5 Words: Fresh, Layered, Redcurrant, Blood-Orange, Vibrant. 88% Pinot Noir, 12% Chardonnay Looking for a luxurious rosé Champagne that drinks like slightly natty Burgundy? Vincent Couche makes biodynamic Champagne in the Aube, which lies equidistant from Burgundy and the rest of Champagne. He’s obsessed with sense of place and the health of the vines. This bottle uses fruit from 2017 and 2018. The grapes were vinified separately, and then blended with 30% still Pinot Noir. Malolactic fermentation is allowed, and it spends 24 months on the lees. It is un-fined and un-filtered with a modest dosage of 6 grams. Please drink this in a wine glass rather than a flute to enjoy all it has to offer!

Glossary

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples.

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...
