Charles Le Bel Champagne “Inspiration 1818” Brut — Champagne NV

Founded in 1818, Champagne Charles Le Bel is one of the region’s most storied négociant houses, crafting wines that balance classical elegance with exceptional value. The “Inspiration 1818” Brut is the house’s flagship non-vintage blend — a harmonious assemblage of 37% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 33% Pinot Noir, with a remarkable 70% reserve wines contributing depth, complexity, and consistency across every release. Finished at 9g/L dosage, this is a Champagne of genuine quality and outstanding price-to-pleasure ratio.

The nose is blooming and inviting: butter, white-flesh fruits, Mirabelle plum, brioche, and dried fruits. On the palate, it is well-balanced and structured — the Pinot Noirs lend body and richness, while the Chardonnay delivers a refreshing finish of citrus and white pepper. Fine, plentiful bubbles rise in a sparkling, crystalline wine that is equally at home as an apéritif or at the table.

67 Wine — “A delicious, classic Champagne with aromas of brioche, almonds, and pears. An exceptional quality-to-price ratio — perfect for parties and grand evenings alike.”

Expert Reviews — Vintage 2019

Vinous (Neal Martin) 97 Points: Beguiling bouquet with red berry fruit, truffle and light Provençal herb scents, beautifully defined. Medium-bodied with pliant tannins — exquisite in terms of balance, silky smooth, building gradually with a harmonious and quite effortless finish. Divine. A stellar showing.

Decanter (Georgina Hindle) 97 Points: Rich, full and heady nose. Ripe blackcurrant, red cherries, raspberries and strawberries with mint, black pepper and truffle. Excellent precision and density with a seductive dark chocolate edge. Powerful, muscular and confident, yet with suppleness — density and grace with a cooling finish of liquorice, mint and soft salinity. A great wine.

James Suckling 95 Points: Perfumed nose of mulberries, plums, chocolate orange and cloves. Medium-to-full bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Caressing, velvety and rich core of dark fruit. So supple and polished. 88.5% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.5% Cabernet Franc. Drink after 2024.

Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 94 Points: Fleshy and dramatic, wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe berry fruit mingled with subtle hints of truffle and violets, new oak already entirely integrated. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, broad and textural with lively acids, powdery tannins and fine length on the finish.

Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points: Elegant, solid Pomerol delivering spicy red and black cherry fruits, notes of cedary herbs and flowers, medium-bodied richness, silky yet building tannins, and a great finish. Will benefit from 3–5 years of bottle age and keep for 15–20 years.

The Artist Edition

Château Minuty has collaborated with a different artist each year to create a limited-edition label for its iconic M Rosé. The 2025 edition by Lucia Vinti, an Italian illustrator based in London whose hand-crafted work — pencil, paint, and collage — celebrates people, places, food, and culture in a vibrantly colorful, joyful style.

This bottle is a natural dialogue between wine and gastronomy, from the glass to the table — a Mediterranean art of living expressed through both the wine and the art that adorns it.

Tasting Notes

Color: Clear and brilliant, with a pale hue and delicate hints of rose petals.

Nose: Precise and complex — aromas of red berries intertwined with notes of white-fleshed fruit.

Palate: Generous yet vibrant, with a lingering, harmonious finish. Fresh, fruit-forward, and unmistakably Provençal.

Winemaking

Grapes are gently pressed before low-temperature fermentation. No malolactic fermentation is carried out, preserving the wine's vibrant, fruit-forward character. Certified HVE Level 3.

Food Pairings

• Aperitif: olives, tapas, tarama, vegetable chips
• Summer salads: Caprese, Niçoise, tomato & mozzarella
• Small shellfish, pink shrimp, seafood platters
• Pan-seared starters and light Mediterranean bites

Serve between 8–10°C. Best enjoyed through 2026.

Winemaker Description

In France’s Northern Rhône Valley, few names are as revered as Graillot. It was in 1985 that the late, legendary Alain Graillot — after working with the venerable Jacques Seysses at Domaine Dujac — returned to his home in Crozes-Hermitage to start his own domaine. With each passing year, his devotion to making hauntingly delicious Syrah from organically farmed, stone-laden vineyards earned him a devoted global following. Alain’s sons Maxime and Antoine have been in charge since 2008, continuing the legacy unchanged: hand-harvesting, organic farming, 100% whole-cluster fermentation, and aging primarily in 1-to-3 year old barrels sourced from top Burgundy estates.

Pairing Suggestions

• Meat: Grilled lamb chops with herbes de Provence, roasted duck breast, or venison with wild mushrooms.
• Classic Rhône: Daube de bœuf, cassoulet, or a charcuterie board with cured meats.
• Cheese: Aged Comté, Saint-Nectaire, or a firm washed-rind cheese.

Famille Vincent Pouilly-Fuissé Marie Antoinette — Mâconnais, Burgundy 2023

Famille Vincent is the family behind Château Fuissé — one of the most celebrated and historic domaines in Pouilly-Fuissé, and the benchmark producer of the appellation. Located in the village of Fuissé in the Mâconnais, the estate has been in the Vincent family for generations and is today led by Antoine Vincent, who continues the family's commitment to expressing the full potential of Chardonnay on the distinctive limestone and clay soils of southern Burgundy. The Marie Antoinette cuvée is a tribute to Marie-Antoinette Vincent — Antoine's grandmother and a beloved figure in the family's history — crafted to be an approachable, high-quality introduction to the Château Fuissé style: elegant, mineral, and unmistakably Pouilly-Fuissé.

The color is pale yellow with hints of green. The nose offers a touch of oak alongside great finesse and minerality — white flowers, lemon, and apple scents lead into aromas of melon, kiwi, peach, and apricot. On the palate, the wine is fresh, round, and fruity with a lovely mineral backbone and a nicely balanced, long finish. Elegant and complete — a Pouilly-Fuissé that drinks well above its price.

Leclerc Briant Réserve Extra Brut — Épernay, Champagne, France NV

Leclerc Briant is one of Champagne's most celebrated and pioneering grower-producers — a historic house based in Épernay with roots going back to 1872, and today one of the region's most committed advocates for biodynamic viticulture. Under the stewardship of the Lignac family, Leclerc Briant farms its vineyards according to strict biodynamic principles — certified by Demeter — believing that the health of the soil is the foundation of great Champagne. The estate works with the lunar calendar, uses only natural preparations, and practices minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the terroir of their Marne Valley and Côte des Blancs vineyards to express itself with clarity and precision. The Réserve Extra Brut is the house's signature non-vintage cuvée — a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, based on the 2019 harvest, with reserve wines adding depth and complexity. Extra Brut in style, it is drier and more precise than a standard Brut, allowing the terroir and the fruit to speak without the softening effect of dosage.

The color is bright pale yellow with a fine, lively mousse. The nose is complex and inviting: wet asphalt, ripe white peach, fresh redcurrant, pear, verbena, lime, herbs, and a touch of menthol — the signature of biodynamic Champagne. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and approachable with a rounded mid-palate, chalky and pithy texture, and sleek acidity animating flavors of chopped raspberry, nectarine, preserved lemon, and oyster shell. The finish is persistent, lightly spiced, and mouthwatering — clean, energetic, and long.

Jeb Dunnuck 92 — "Wet asphalt, ripe white peach, and fresh redcurrant. Rounded mid-palate, chalky and pithy texture with a lively yet fine mousse. Attractive and balanced with a clean finish."

Wine Spectator 92 — "Lithe and graceful, with sleek acidity animating flavors of chopped raspberry, nectarine, preserved lemon and oyster shell. Fine and satiny in texture, offering a persistent, lightly spiced finish."

Wine Advocate 90 — "Lively, fresh bouquet of pear, verbena, lime tree, herbs and menthol. Vinous and energetic with an incisive mid-palate and a mouthwatering, fresh finish."

Domaine Isabelle & Denis Pommier | Petit Chablis Hauterivien | 2023

Petit Chablis gets unfairly dismissed as the entry-level tier of the Chablis hierarchy — but in the right hands, from the right soils, it is one of Burgundy’s great bargains. Domaine Pommier’s version carries a designation that sets it apart: Hauterivien, referring to the specific Hauterivian geological stratum — an ancient limestone and clay layer that predates even the famous Kimmeridgian soils of Premier and Grand Cru Chablis. The result is a Chardonnay of genuine Chablis typicity: lean, mineral, and precise, with ripe pear, apple, and citrus zest on the nose, a caressing middleweight palate, and a refreshing, clean finish. No oak, no artifice — just the pure expression of cool-climate Chardonnay on ancient Burgundian limestone. As Lettie Teague noted in the Wall Street Journal, Petit Chablis is “a grand wine for spring drinking and a bargain, too, compared with other white Burgundies.” Pommier’s is proof.

• Appellation: Petit Chablis AOC, Burgundy, France
• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
• Terroir: Hauterivian limestone & clay soils
• Vintage: 2023
• Format: 750ml
• Style: Unoaked, mineral-driven, dry white
• Drink Window: Now – 2028

Critical Acclaim

Burghound — Allen Meadows: Good Chablis typicity to the ripe yet fresh aromas of mostly pear, apple and zest. The caressing and nicely punchy middleweight flavors deliver acceptable depth and persistence on the refreshing finish. Should drink well almost immediately upon release.

Wall Street Journal — Lettie Teague (August 2024): “A Big Value in White Burgundy — Petit Chablis is actually a grand wine for spring drinking and a bargain, too, compared with other white Burgundies.”

Tasting Notes

White fruits, pear, apple, and citrus zest on the nose with honeysuckle and a fine mineral thread. Lively, even, and ripe on the palate with a fresh, clean finish.

Pairing Suggestions

• Seafood: Oysters, steamed mussels, grilled sole, or shrimp with lemon.
• Poultry: Roast chicken, chicken with cream sauce, or light charcuterie.
• Cheese: Fresh chèvre, mild Brie, or a simple cheese plate.

Domaine Olivier Foucher | Sancerre AOC, Loire Valley, France | 2024

Olivier Foucher took over his family's 10.5-hectare estate in 2011 after studies in viticulture and oenology and years working alongside his parents. Le Chant du Silex — "The Song of the Flint" — takes its name from the estate's prized silex (flinty) soils, which impart a signature smoky, gunflint minerality and exceptional aging potential. The focus here is precision and tension: energetic, bright, and impeccably balanced rather than tropical or overworked.

Silver Medal, 2025 Concours Mondial du Sauvignon. Praised by 67 Wine's Bart Hopkins as "a classic mineral-driven Sancerre with excellent precision."

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Soils: Silex (flint)
Drink: Now–2030

Tasting Notes

• Delicate floral, lime zest, and tangerine on the nose
• White peach, pear, grapefruit, and subtle exotic fruit on the palate
• Full, mouth-puckering acidity | Smoky gunflint minerality | Long, precise finish

Pairings: Oysters, goat cheese, grilled fish, sushi, light poultry

Pierre Lurton’s Personal Estate — Bordeaux’s Best-Value Rouge

Château Marjosse is the personal estate of Pierre Lurton — Managing Director of the legendary Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.

The clay-limestone soils preserved remarkable freshness in this hot, dry vintage.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

• Vinous — 91 pts: “A bright, nervy red. Floral notes, orange peel, mint and white pepper lend notable energy throughout. An atypically vibrant wine for the year — a pretty significant shift toward greater freshness.”
• James Suckling — 91 pts: “Pretty and vibrant, showing subtle cream to the red berries, currants and citrus on the nose. Quite firm and juicy on the palate with lightly chewy tannins and a fine, medium-long finish. Drink from 2025.”

La Vieille Ferme · Blanc · Luberon · Rhône Valley, France · 2024 · 1.5L Magnum

La Vieille Ferme is produced by the Perrin family — the same family behind Château de Beaucastel, one of the most celebrated estates in all of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Drawing on generations of expertise in the southern Rhône, the Perrins created La Vieille Ferme as their benchmark everyday wine: a bottle that delivers genuine Rhône character at a price that makes it a weekly staple rather than a special occasion. The Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc, sourced from the Luberon appellation and vinified to preserve freshness, aromatics, and the clean mineral character of the region. Now in 1.5L magnum format — double the wine, double the occasion. At $17.99, this is one of the world's great value white wines.

Pale gold in the glass with a bright, inviting hue. The nose opens with citrus blossoms, juicy peach, and ripe pear, with a subtle lift of tropical fruit. On the palate: crisp and refreshing, with flavors of green apple, pear, and zesty lemon carried by lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish. Each variety in the blend plays its role — Grenache Blanc for body, Vermentino for aromatics, Roussanne for texture, Bourboulenc for freshness.

Château de Manissy Tête de Cuvée — Tavel, Rhône Valley 2024

The Tête de Cuvée has been Château de Manissy’s flagship bottling since the estate’s very first vintage in 1915 — and nothing has changed, including the label. Made from a biodynamic blend of Grenache, Clairette, and Cinsault sourced from the Tavel appellation in the southern Rhône, this is a rosé built for the table rather than the pool. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged nine to twelve months in old 25-hectoliter foudres, and bottled with minimal intervention, it is one of the rare rosés with genuine structure and aging potential. Decanter awarded it 92 points. View From The Cellar 92. Organic. This is Tavel as it has always been — serious, complex, and built to last.

The bouquet is beautifully refined: rhubarb, watermelon, blood orange, dried rose petals, gentle savory notes, and a lovely base of soil tones with a touch of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate, the wine is deep, pure, and full-bodied with lovely acids, excellent focus and grip, a succulent core of red currant and cherry, and a long, complex, impeccably balanced finish. Rich and structured — a Tavel that will age impressively and pair with just about anything.

Domaine Le Galantin is one of Bandol’s most authentic and quietly revered estates — a family domaine farming southwest-facing hillsides of clay and limestone in the heart of Provence’s most serious appellation. Their Bandol Rosé is the benchmark for the style: structured, complex, and built to age in a way that most Provençal rosés simply cannot. Blended from approximately 62% Mourvèdre, 21% Cinsault, and 17% Grenache — all hand-harvested — it is vinified with meticulous care: a two-day cold soak at 5°C to extract fruit and aromatics, cool fermentation with blocked malolactic, and bottling no earlier than March 1st as required by Bandol appellation law. Around 5,850 cases produced.

Pale salmon in color with brilliant clarity. The nose is expressive and aromatic: peach, nectarine, grapefruit, dried orange zest, and a touch of Provençal spice.

Lanson Champagne Père & Fils Brut — Champagne NV

Founded in 1760, Lanson is one of Champagne’s most storied and consistent houses — and the Père & Fils Brut is its definitive expression. Crafted by chef de cave Hervé Dantan from 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier sourced from 100 villages across the region, with 30% reserve wines spanning 10 vintages back to 1995, this is a non-vintage Champagne of remarkable depth, consistency, and integrity. Four years on the lees — well above the minimum — adds richness, complexity, and a fine toasty character that sets it apart from the crowd. Decanter calls it “one of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.” At this price, it is hard to argue.

The nose is fresh and inviting: green apple, pear, pie crust, and a touch of toast from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is ripe and well-balanced — Pinot Noir’s weight and red fruit character is lifted by Chardonnay’s precision and fine bubbles, with a crisp, dry finish of real elegance. Already drinking beautifully, with the structure to reward short-term cellaring.

Decanter 92 — “A class act and a resounding statement of talent. One of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.”
Wine Enthusiast 92 — “Back on form, giving a ripe style dominated by Pinot Noir. Fine balance between the fruits and touches of toast from four years on the lees.”

The nose is pleasing, initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits (pear, apple), then vanilla and later brioche. Note the fine balance between fruity aromas from the grape varieties and toasty notes resulting from three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit following (pear, lemon, grapefruit). It's a true member of the Brut family, well-structured and admirably vinous with a silky texture and nutty complexity on the finish.

Winemaker Description 

While not untrue, calling Cheverny a value alternative to Sancerre would completely overlook the virtues unique to this appellation. It is a much zippier expression of Sauvignon Blanc compared to its famous neighbor, more citrusy than grassy. When Kermit introduced this wine in July 1993, he said, “Salvard makes the most drinkable, quaffable Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tasted.”

Thierry and Emmanuel Delaille of Domaine du Salvard specialize in crisp, mouthwatering Sauvignon Blanc, but for this cuvée, they add a splash of Chardonnay, which brings complexity, flesh, and notes of Meyer lemon and orchard fruit. The base of Sauvignon Blanc, meanwhile, provides freshness and liveliness as well as its characteristic flavors of passion fruit and lime zest. The two grape varieties combine for outstanding versatility, such that this bottle will serve you well alongside all kinds of seasonal spring fare.

Domaine Delobel Touraine Sauvignon Blanc “Angle Droit” — Loire Valley 2024

Domaine Delobel is one of the Loire Valley’s most exciting organic estates, founded in 2013 by Benjamin Delobel in Ouchamps, on the celebrated Oisly vineyard. Working with 10 hectares of certified-organic Sauvignon Blanc — planted from mass selections to preserve old-vine complexity — Benjamin crafts wines that are, as the name “Angle Droit” (Right Angle) suggests, straight, pure, and technically precise. For fans of Sauvignon Blanc who find New Zealand styles too loud and Sancerre too expensive, this wine hits the perfect middle ground. Manual harvests at dawn, slow pneumatic pressing, stainless steel fermentation, and aging on lees deliver a wine of exceptional freshness and mineral clarity.

The nose is lively and inviting: dried hay, field grass, sliced green apple, and crabapple aromas converge in a satisfying, savory frame. On the palate, the wine washes across wet river stone with tart acidity accented by white blossom — mineral-driven, focused, and refreshingly precise. The finish is clean and lingering.

Wine Enthusiast 90 — Reggie Solomon: “This lively wine refreshes the senses. The mineral-driven palate washes across wet river stone with tart acidity accented by white blossom.”

Alphonse Mellot La Moussière Sancerre  — Loire Valley 2025

Alphonse Mellot is one of Sancerre’s most storied and celebrated estates — and the only domaine in the entire Sancerrois to hold the prestigious hors concours (beyond competition) distinction. La Moussière is the estate’s flagship cuvée: a 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the La Moussière vineyard at the very heart of the Sancerre appellation, farmed biodynamically since 1999 and hand-harvested in its entirety. Aged for 8 months on the lees in a combination of wood, concrete, and stainless steel vessels, the wine develops remarkable texture and complexity while allowing the pure fruit to shine through with no evidence of oak flavor. The 2023 vintage earned 90 points from Vinous — and the 2025 continues that legacy.

The color is a resplendent golden robe with glints of green. The nose is floral and fruity: white flowers, citrus, and the characteristic mineral tension of great Sancerre. On the palate, it is rounded and airy — finely textured with curved edges from lees aging, with pure lemon, nettle, and fresh pineapple characters singing through a clean, mineral-driven finish of real precision and length. Fish tartare, smoked salmon, or a girolle mushroom omelette are the classic pairings.

Vinous 90 (Prior 2023 vintage) — “A rounded, airy wine with pure, clear fruit. Finely textured with curved edges. The pure fruit shines through with no evidence of oak flavor, allowing the pretty lemon, nettle and fresh pineapple characters to sing.”

Domaine Champalou | Vouvray Sec | Loire Valley | 2024

Vouvray is Chenin Blanc’s spiritual home — a small appellation on the Loire’s right bank where the grape has been grown for centuries in the region’s distinctive tuffeau limestone soils. Domaine Champalou, run by Céline and Didier Champalou, is one of the appellation’s most beloved estates: biodynamically farmed, meticulous in the cellar, and utterly consistent in producing Vouvray of purity and grace. The Sec (dry) is the entry point into their range and it is a masterclass in what Chenin Blanc can do when the terroir is right and the winemaking gets out of the way. Stony minerality from the limestone, luscious almost-honeyed fruit, and delicate floral notes combine on a palate that is simultaneously fresh and textural — the kind of wine that seems effortless but is anything but. Serve cold, drink often.

67 Wine Picks

"Céline Champalou’s Vouvray is always a joy to drink. The wine seems so pure, as if it bubbled up out of the limestone into a cool, limpid pool tended by nymphs and satyrs who pour it into the mouths of weary souls. That’s what I feel, anyway, when I grab a bottle from the fridge."

About This Wine

Taittinger Cuvée Prestige Rosé is one of Champagne's most iconic non-vintage rosés — a house that has championed elegance and finesse since 1734. Blended from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and 30% Chardonnay, with 12–15% still red Pinot Noir wine added for color and depth, this cuvée pours a vivid cherry-pink with an endless stream of fine, persistent bubbles.

The nose is classically Pinot — ripe red raspberries, wild strawberries, and blood orange, lifted by delicate floral and earthy nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with vibrant berry fruit, a silky mousse, and a fresh acidity that carries through to a long, crisp finish. Versatile and celebratory in equal measure.

Expert Reviews

Decanter 94 Points | A distinctly red-berry nose – all red currants and small forest fruit. Red Delicious apple has such a telltale Pinot scent. The palate has pure, bright apple fruit, a lemony verve, and a very delicate mousse backed by gently salty autolysis. Vanilla oak comes through, like the custard on an apple crumble, carrying freshness and flavour until the lingering finish.

The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | The nonvintage cuvée from this producer, based on the southern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, is beautifully judged. It is rich while also showing great freshness from citrus fruit flavors.

James Suckling 93 Points | Complex and smoky nose with orange blossom, green apple, licorice, chalky minerality and toasted bread. Refined palate with pinprick mousse, crisp acidity and a tight, tense and clean aftertaste. 65% pinot noir, 32% chardonnay and 3% pinot meunier.

Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points | The NV Champagne Reserve Perpetuelle Brut is a bright straw color and is from the 2021 base vintage. Beginning with this release, they have changed the name of this cuvée to better reflect the method of production, which utilizes their perpetual reserve as a key component in the blend, although it’s the same as it’s always been. Made from 66% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, the nose is inviting and pure, with gorgeous red fruits that shine brightly in this release, and while it has intensity, it’s approachable and pretty, with notes of almond, peaches, red berries, and fresh bread. The mousse is elegant and integrates nicely into the wine.

The Wine Spectator 92 Points | A baseline of chalky minerality supports juicy pear and white cherry fruit, lemon peel and pickled ginger alongside rich accents of crystallized honey and biscuit in this sleek and creamy Champagne. Harmonious and finely knit, with good length through the lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

The Wine Advocate 90 Points | Comprising 44% wine from the 2021 vintage and 56% reserve wines held in perpetual reserve, Philipponnat’s NV Réserve Perpétuelle Brut—formerly known as Brut Royale Réserve—opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe peach, red berries, pear and pastry. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, broad-shouldered and textural, delivering a generous, enveloping style energized by racy acidity. While the base vintage is vinified primarily in stainless steel, the reserve wines are stored in oak, and the wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation. This bottling was disgorged in December 2024 with a dosage of eight grams per liter.

Memo Summary Notes

The Philipponnat Réserve Perpétuelle Brut NV represents a significant rebranding of the house's flagship "Royale Réserve." The new name reflects the "perpetual reserve" (solera) system started in 1946, where older wines are refreshed with younger ones to ensure a consistent, complex house style.

Based primarily on the 2021 vintage (with over 50% reserve wines), this Champagne is a Pinot Noir-heavy powerhouse that emphasizes the "vinous" (wine-like) character typical of the Mareuil-sur-Ay terroir.

This is a "gastronomic" Champagne, meaning it has enough body to handle a full meal:

• Seafood: Scallops in butter sauce, lobster, or even grilled oily fish like mackerel.

• Meats: Excellent with white meats such as roasted poultry or premium charcuterie (Prosciutto di Parma).

• Japanese Cuisine: Its acidity and minerality pair exceptionally well with high-quality sushi and sashimi.

The Brut Royal is the direct heir to that legacy, a perfectly balanced assemblage of equal thirds Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier that has defined the house style for 150 years. Based on the 2018 vintage with reserve wines blended for consistency and complexity, this is a Champagne of vivacity, elegance, and effortless drinkability — earning 92 points from both James Suckling and Decanter.

The color is pale yellow with light green accents. The nose is vivacious and fresh: citrus, white flowers, small berries, verbena, plum, and summer flowers, with lovely shortbread depth. On the palate, it is elegant and vibrant — round and ample, with peach, lemon, grapefruit, biscuit, and honey, sleek bubbles, and a harmonious, minerally finish that never tires. A lithesome, compulsively drinkable Champagne.

Jeb Dunnuck — 90 Points | Mostly Viognier (55%) but with other permitted white varieties, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc has a medium-bodied, vibrant, pure style to go with lovely peach and tangerine-like aromas and flavors.
