94 points and an Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast: "A beautifully fine mousse indicates the class of this finely crafted wine. It has some weight, flavors of green apples, with hints of fresh apricots. There is extreme freshness here, the style dry but rich. This bottling tastes young and would be worth aging six months." (12/09) 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Light yellow with a delicate bead. Smoky pear, quince and orange on the nose, with faint yeastiness adding depth. Brisk and dry, displaying finely etched orchard fruit fla... Read More »

The Aristons vineyards are vastly different than the other blanc de blancs producers that we carry. The steeper slopes, less chalk and more fossils in the soil of Brouillet make for a rich, creamy style Chardonnay Champagne that will appeal to just about anyone.

Composed of even parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier it is fermented in stainless steel. Baron Fuente is a negociant that owns almost 90 acres of vines and purchases another 90 acres "sur pied", meaning that they pick the grapes.

It includes Tarlant's one of a kind Rose Zero, a pink Champagne of the highest quality- made with no sugar added before shipment, Bruno Michel's single vineyard Blanc de Blancs that has minerality unexcelled in the world of wine, and the Michel Arnould Grand Cuvee, a non-vintage blend that happens to come from the 2002 vintage exclusively. I believe this to be the very best six packs that we have ever offered,... Read More »
