Bregeon Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2014
Regular Price $18.99
Sale Price $14.99
Hard by the Atlantic and among the coolest grape growing regions in the Loire Valley, Muscadet has long been the ‘go-to’ wine for oysters. Bracingly crisp and saline fresh, this wine has more length and depth than most. Time on its lees gives the wine additional weight and the old volcanic rock under the vineyard imparts minerality and complexity

Jean-Marc Brocard Bourgogne Blanc ‘Kimmeridgien’ 2015
Regular Price $22.99
Sale price $17.99
Kimmeridgien refers to the chalky soils of Chablis, where some of the world’s most stunning, minerally and long-lived chardonnays are produced. It could aptly be called a “baby Chablis,” as it offers the stony, earthy quality of the wines from there. Apple and river stones abound in this wine, and the crips finish has one reaching for another sip all but instantly
Gonet-Medeville Rose Brut, Premier Cru NV
Regular Price $62.99
Sale price $49.99
“The NV Rosé Premier Cru Extra Brut is a blend of 70% Chardonnay (from the coolish lieut-dit Louvières in Mesnil-sur-Oger) and 30% Pinot Noir. This sample comes from the 2011 vintage and has been disgorged with three grams per liter in March 2015. The cuvée has a light rose color and offers a very pure and fresh nose, with delicate red fruit aromas and lovely mineral notes. There is a lovely delicate fruit intertwined with a firm mineral structure and a lot of salt in the finish. Very expressive, but also finesse-full. Beautifully fresh, although still very young.”
Champagne Laurent-Perrier Brut, NV
Regular Price $49.99
Sale price $34.99
The Laurent-Perrier NV Brut is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier, and is based on 2009 plus 15-30% reserve wines from two or three vintages. The wine has a refined, fresh and elegant nose with brioche and delicate citrus flavors. Lean, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dry and silky textured, vivacious, and perfectly fresh and balanced aperitif Champagne.
Champagne Pierre Moncuit Brut Blanc de Blanc, Grand Cru NV
Regular Price $59.99
Sale Price $47.99
Champagne Pierre Moncuit is one of the great defenders of a style of Champagne that emphasizes the expression of terroir in the finished wines. For that reason, the wines from different villages are never blended (except in the case of the Brut Rosé). These are quintessential examples of Blanc de Blancs Champagne, with a combination of a racy, mineral-laden palate, superb expression of the underlying chalky soils in which they are grown, and generous, youthful fruit expressions that makes them ideal wines to drink right out of the blocks, while still retaining all of the structural integrity necessary to age beautifully for years to come.
