We tasted this Champagne and liked it when it was expensive, but didn't feel that it offered great value at that high price. After months of going back and forth, we ended up with a better deal than we thought possible and bought everything the distributor had. This is a wine cut from the Ace of Spades cloth (which we sell for $269), both in production (the Ace is also a brand made by a separate producer) and in flavor. It is made entirely from the first press juice of a strict selection of Beaumont des Crayeres 212 acres of vines. It is very well balanc... Read More »

This delightful sparkling wine, made in Burgundy, in the traditional Champagne method, is composed of the traditional champagne varietals, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. When grown on the limestone soils of the Cote Challonaise and the Cote de Beaune, these varietals produce a sparkling wine of brightness, with fine bubbles and a lovely finish.

What an intriguing wine! The Valettes are known for the extensive barrel aging of their wines, which comes through quite distinctively in the 2001 "000". This has a heady bouquet redolent of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, with an undercurrent of lime and caramel that carry over to the palate. But what's so remarkable is that despite the secondary aromas on the nose, this wine is lively and fresh in the mouth, with hints of anise, delicate fruit and nuts awash in gorgeous bright acidity. A spectacular find.

Made by the small family domaine of Paul Chapelle & Ses fils, and imported by the wine maker's brother-in-law, this shows the quality some of the less-known producers are capable of. It comes from a lieu-dit called 'Malpoitiers', near Clos la Barre, on the Volnay side of the village. On the palates it shows lots of richness and good structure.

The 2004 François Diligent Cuvée Tradition Brut Champagne is all chardonnay, a rarity in the southern part of Champagne, where the pinot noir grape is king. The grapes are grown both in Buxeuil and in Polisy, a village just to the northwest. The vineyard sites are rich in kimméridgien clay. That’s the same soil as in Chablis, which is less than 40 miles southeast of here. Not surprisingly, the chardonnay here has a very Chablissiene character to it, with more rich warmth than one expects from a Mesnil or Avize Blanc de Blancs.

Also they had good rainfall on July 15th, August 16th and August 19th to replenish the moisture in the soil. As a result their wines did not suffer from the heat.

Sweeter and more supple than the Bourgogne, with round fruit, followed by some tannins at the finish. Nice black fruit notes.
