CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING WINE 750 ML BOTTLES

PIPER HEIDSIECK CUVÉE BRUT NON-VINTAGE FRANCE Rated 92 by Wine Spectator and #95 in Wine Spectator Top 100 This Champagne teases and allures with its festive, light drenched, pale gold shimmer and joyful display of neat, lively bubbles. Notes of almond and fresh hazelnut accompany the precise ascent of its bubbles. It is vibrant, subtle, and light, leaving a deliciously incisive sensation of smoothness, marked by the pureness of fresh pear and apple and a delicate hint of citrus fruits. A harmonious mixture of bright, crunchy pomelo, blonde grapes, and juicy white fruits creates the delightfully surprising sensation of lightness embraced by the structure and depth of the Pinot Noir, all beautifully balanced. $49.99 $74.99 CUVÉE SUBLIME DEMI-SEC A great classic Champagne – structured, full-bodied, and bursting with fruit. The blend of the classic Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut, with a maturation period extended by a year and with a generous dosage. A great demi-sec Champagne, a blend of a majority created of Pinot Noirs, over 100 crus, and Pinot Meunier from the Grande and Petite Montagne de Reims. A lively entry of candied citrus fruits and roasted pineapple—a duality balancing smoothness and juiciness, cinnamon and vanilla-roasted pear—a structured, full-bodied, melt-in-the-mouth wine. $54.98 $74.99

LANSON LE ROSÉ CHAMPAGNE Rated 93 Points by James Suckling :

"A bright, fruity rosé with peaches and light strawberries. Tangerines, too. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture. A blended wine with only 7% red wines. It has the same red fruit and freshness as the normal black label. It is very fresh and vivid. Four years on the lees." $59.98 $76.99 LE BLACK LABEL BRUT Rated 92 Points by Decanter : "Fifty percent Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier from 100 villages, including 30% reserves from 10 vintages back to 1995; a small proportion now being produced with malolactic. Black Label is Lanson's confident barometer. Hervé Dantan's first blend is a class act, a resounding statement of his talent in preserving the style and integrity of the house while meticulously polishing the edges. It's a significant cuvée in the grand scheme of Champagne: one of the best and most consistent of the bargain set." $42.98 $55.99
