Pierre Moncuit Moncuit-delos Brut Blanc De Blancs Grand Cru

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintageNVSKU13915

White flowers, pears, savory herbs and mint are all laced together in Moncuit's NV (2011) Blanc de Blancs Delos Grand Cru. The flavors are bright, precise and nicely focused, with pretty saline and savory notes that vie for attention on the finish. Disgorged July 2014. - Antonio Galloni

Champagne Roger Coulon Brut l'Hommee 1er Cru

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintage2011SKU27830

Produced exclusively from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir and aged for 5 years prior to disgorgement; much of this blend is based on fruit from the old vines parcel of Pinot Meunier known as Les Linguets in Vrigny that was planted in 1953; the wine is neither filtered nor fined and only a minimal dosage is applied when this vintage Champagne is disgorged.

Baron Fuente Brut Grand Reserve

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintageNVSKU27945

The bouquet offers up a fine constellation of white peach, apple, lovely Meunier floral tones, lovely minerality and a hint of lemon zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very nicely balanced, with a good core, a fine sense of bounce, elegant mousse and lovely cut and grip on the seamless and classy finish.

Champagne Guy Larmandier Cots des Blancs Vertus Brut Zero

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintageNVSKU28607

Sporting a more markedly floral, chalky nose than the classic disgorgement, this new "Brut Zero" version of the Vertus 1er Cru has a similarly chiseled frame to the Cramant above. However, it is less obviously bone-dry on the palate-the ample character the village manifesting itself in a rounder overall texture. The wine is firm without being hard, with a great interplay of supple fruit and intense stoniness.
