About

Sparkling Saumur of 90% Chenin Blanc and 10% Chardonnay, cool-fermented in stainless steel and then rested 18 to 24 months on lees in bottle before disgorgement at a low brut dosage (2.4 g/L residual sugar). Brilliant yellow with a golden shimmer, the nose develops tropical fruit — pineapple and mango — with brioche notes; the palate is crisp and concentrated, finishing on bittersweet ripe white fruits. The producer pitches it as an aperitif that also stands up to richer plates.

Prince de Lise Blanc de Blanc Brut

A non-vintage French Blanc de Blancs Brut made entirely from Chardonnay. It is classified by Wine-Searcher as a dry, fresh and youthful sparkling style rather than a complex, traditional one — a straightforward, uncomplicated fizz rather than a vintage Champagne stand-in.

Burgundy, France

Baron Jacques Blanc de Blanc Brut

Baron Jacques

An organic blanc de blancs from Burgundy, made from 100% Chardonnay by the traditional method with a minimum of nine months in bottle. Expressive aromatics of flowers and citrus lead into a well-structured, balanced palate carrying brioche and fresh butter. Light, crisp and fun, with a gentle complexity that punches above its station — a proper alternative to Champagne when the occasion is more Tuesday than anniversary.

Clover Hill Exceptionelle

Clover Hill Wines

Clover Hill's multi-vintage Exceptionnelle blends 59% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 6% Meunier from the estate's Lebrina vineyard in Tasmania's Pipers River country, with reserve wines kept under four different preservation techniques to layer in complexity. Light straw-green with a fine, energetic bead; citrus and stone fruit aromas run to lemon curd, red apple, crushed sea shell and almond paste, and the palate is tight and bright with a stony, savoury edge and a long, dry finish. Drink now or cellar five to ten years.

Bouzy Grand Cru, Champagne, France

Paul Bara Brut Reserve Champagne

Champagne Paul Bara

The signature cuvée of Paul Bara, one of Bouzy's rare récoltants-manipulants — growers who make Champagne only from their own grand cru fruit. 80% Pinot Noir with 20% Chardonnay off Bouzy's deep chalky subsoil, fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic conversion and aged on the lees. Light yellow-gold with a fine, abundant mousse: ripe fleshy fruit and Mirabelle plum open into spice, honey, bergamot and orange peel, with yellow peach and a subtle peppery note on a fresh, mineral palate.
