CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING WINE 750 ML BOTTLES

MANDOIS CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE BLANCS 2017 It is pale yellow with yellow-to-gold reflections. A necklace of many fine bubbles rises in the glass to form a harmonious cord on the surface. There is an alliance of delicacy and freshness on the nose, with white-fleshed fruit flavors and floral notes

followed by a touch of verbena and fresh almond. Flavors are faithful to the nose, sophisticated and fruity, with notes of fruits and flowers revealing a particularly harmonious wine. $58.98 $74.99 BLANC DE NOIRS 2015 his 100% Pinot Noir reveals a deep golden color flecked with amber, a sign of its exceptional body and structure. The nose exudes aromas of cherry eau de vie and stone fruits, characteristic of the Pinot Noir varietal, and indicate delicious, indulgent champagne. The rich, round palate discloses peppery notes and candied fruits, which attest to the excellent balance of the vintage and make it well-suited to a wide variety of dishes. The perfect Champagne with food. $58.98 $74.99 BRUT ROSÉ GRANDE RÉSERVE Presented in a clear bottle, the Brut Rosé Grande Réserve is a blend of “bled” (saignée) rosé and traditional rosé wines. The former will endow this delicious Champagne with generous aromas of red fruit on the nose. The latter will impart the finesse and elegance displayed by fine rosé Champagnes. With its reasonable “dosage” (sweetening), this Champagne can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with food, where its length works wonders. Grape Varietals: 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier $46.98 $58.99 BRUT ORIGINE Rated 90 Points by Wine Enthusiast The judicious blending of three grape varieties (40% Chardonnay / 30% Pinot Noir / 30% Pinot Meunier), sourced from all the property’s crus, endows this Cuvée Brut Origine with perfect balance and remarkable quality. The use of wines from three consecutive years also helps ensure the consistency of style. Fruity and only very slightly dosed (sweetened), this Champagne is perfect as an aperitif where it expresses its natural character to the full. $41.98 $53.99

FLEURAISON BLANC DE BLANC BRUT

The brilliance of the fine bubbles increases the vividness and fine perfumes of flowers (the name "Fleuraison" means flowering/blossoming). The nose of butter and hazelnut then introduces a palate of brioches and almonds. The appropriate dosage and the length of the palate persist to the finish. ROSE DE ROSÉ This soft, creamy sparkling wine abounds in perfumy floral tones and candied cherry and raspberry flavors. A shade off dry and approachable fruit-forward, it's an easy-drinking, juicy sip ideal for picnics or weeknight dinners with take-out. Your Choice $10.98 $12.99
