NV  Henri Dosnon Brut Rose

90% Pinot Noir - 10gr RS -- From chalky soils 30mi north of Chablis

NV  Brut

Not surprisingly, sleek, comely and digitally fruity, yet it shows its fruit on a high white wire, like some iridescent filament snaking through darkness. Sitting in the glass it starts to smell like those little pink cookies ("Biscuits de Reims") you see everywhere in the region. I’m always torn between feeling this is a smart wine that also wants to show you how sexy it is, or a sexy wine that wants you to know how smart it is. Yet of course, smart is sexy. I heard that from Noam Chomsky. Disg. 7/2016, we have 50% CH from Mareuil, vintage 2014 - then 43.5% PN from Mareuil, vintage 2012-13 - then 6.5% still PN from Mareuil vinified in neutral cask, vintage 2013. - Terry Theise

NV  "Cuvee Prestige"

The Duc de Romet Brut is a Blanc de Noirs of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. It’s 75% Meunier and 25% Pinot Noir. The vineyards are entirely from the village of Vandières which is along the Marne River, a few villages west of Cumières. Vandières has the same rating as Merfy, where Chartogne-Taillet is located, but the parcels here are situated in a south-eastern facing amphitheater around the village, much like Oger, which allows the grapes to become very ripe. The Duc de Romet is a delightfully balanced Blanc de Noirs made from purchased grapes from small growers in the village. This is a ND (Négociant-Distributeur), which means this is a blend from the different growers in the Vallée de la Marne who do not produce their own Champagne. The grapes are sent to the local co-op where they are fermented; one of our producers does the final blend.

NV  Rose (Lombardy, Italy)

40% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay & 20% Pinot Blanc. Dry. Franciacorta is a lovely alternative bubbly. A delicious sparkler for casual celebrations, fresh, lively, with a delicate, lacy froth that dances across the tongue. Very pretty petal pink color.

100% Chardonnay. A little black dress in a bottle, a very classy Champagne. The fine mousse shows its good breeding & the beautiful gold packaging makes a gorgeous presentation on the holiday sideboard or in a Champagne bucket.

2016  Frizante

Frizante - Called the "Château Lafite of Languedoc" by the French magazine Gault et Millau, Mas de Daumas Gassac is the region's benchmark estate. Their flagship sparkling rosé is made from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Manseng. Bled Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the younger Daumas Gassac vineyards. The "free-run" grape juice is fermented in a closed tank so as to retain all the fermenting gas. Aged 3 to 4 months in closed stainless steel tank.

2013  Conca del Riu Anoia Brut Rosé de Nit

A Reserva level Cava, 'de Nit' is a blend of the traditional Cava grapes: 55% Macabeo, 20% Xarelo, 20% Parrellada with the addition of 5% Monastrell for complexity and its Rosé color. It is produced in the Methode Champenoise and the disgorgement date is printed on the back label.

2012  "Blanc de Negres"

The exploration of 3 local red varieties: Xarel.lo Vermell, Bastard Negre and Sumoll. Textures de Pedra is the highest expression of the Mediterranean varieties, the Penedès climate, the stony soils of Conca del Riu Anoia and the result of a long aging on the lees, a "Blanc de Negres" which is concentrated on the palate and has great potential for aging. These grapes are sourced from Vinya Més Alta, which is at the top of theSerral hill and has stony soils, farmed biodynamically. The wine is aged on its lees for 42 months and is bottled with zero dosage.

2002  Chardonnay

This series is intended to express the work of a man on his soil. The role of the winemaker is limited and every effort is made to respect and preserve the integrity of the level of expression of the vintage. Vinification in small oak barrels, no malolactic fermentation, no cold stabilisation, no filtration but a lot of passion.
