A glorious rose Champagne from 100% Pinot Noir vines 60+ years-old all on Grand Cru sites in Ay harvested in 2020 and disgorged mid-2023. The dark salmon color and tiny bubbles make it beautiful in the glass. The aromas feature... Read More
For the past six years, this has been a terrific Brut Champagne at a crazy good price. It comes from a co-op founded in 1959 to help grape growers in Aube, the southern part of Champagne, get a little better deal from the big... Read More
This small cooperative winery in the heart of Champagne has struck gold with this cuvee- and yellow label gold at that. Because the Charles Clement Brut Tradition is the kind of wine that will thrill anyone who loves... Read More
Organic/Bio Simply the finest Cremant de Bourgogne we’ve ever tasted – perhaps mainly because it’s one of the very, very, few where the winegrower makes both the base wine and sparkling final product in their... Read More
The geography here is complicated, with the vines growing about 40 miles southwest of Geneva in the foothills of the French alps. The blend is distinctive, featuring 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 60% Jacquere, the main grape... Read More
A completely delicious "drinker's Champagne" with lots of time on the lees to develop toastiness and creaminess of texture. We love how the brioche notes linger here.
Organic/Bio A true luxury grower Champagne from a tiny estate of just 3.5HA that (rarely for Champagne) is certified organic and biodynamic. This is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 1er Cru sites in Ludes and Rilly-La-Montagne... Read More
Brut Zero Champagne is always intense, but it doesn’t have to be harsh or austere. Here Chardonnay from Grand Cru Cramant vines has the amplitude (along with 3 years on the lees) to buffer brisk acids without added sugar.... Read More

For all of the bulk that many 2018 Champagnes show, Hebrart's 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs remains as stylish, pure, and elegant as ever. As Wine Advocate (94 points) wrote of the last release, wafts from the glass with... Read More
Perrine Fresne’s very first Champagne is a wine shaped like a teardrop, entering your mouth broad and generous and then rapidly contracting to an almost painfully intense finish that stays on your palate for a long, long,... Read More
Organic/Bio If it didn’t sound bad we’d call Remi Georgeton a “farmer Champagne maker” because “grower” just doesn’t begin to cover it. Since taking over from his parents in 2006, he’s... Read More
This could just be the very best value bottle of bubbles we've ever found. It's 90% Chardonnay with 10% Vermentino (Ugni Blanc) for lift and bite. The bubbles are small and persistent and the aromas and flavors bright... Read More
