A gorgeous grand cru rosé champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. The nose is bursting with apple and brioche. The palate is dry, the bubbles are tiny. We paired with Pink Moon oysters from PEI.

Anniversary Jacuzzi suite bubbles 😎 this was in a really great place and was really singing; I could smell it intensely just from pouring it. Rich and redolent of bruised yellow apple as well as caramelized apple, lovely fresh brioche, starting to show a bit of pleasant oxidative nutty character reminiscent of glazed pecans, a bit of baking spice, English toffee, and chalk dust. Almost like a nutty, toffee apple pie or something, Just really delicious. Acid is still nervy and provides a strong backbone but has had a bit of time to integrate in the mix with all the other elements and is in great balance right now; not punishing like some younger blanc de blancs can be. Fine bead provides a rich, creamy mouthfeel that's just delightful. First Grand Cru Champagne and it lived up to expectations. Serious value as well when it comes down to it, I paid like 55 bucks for this thing. That's pretty impressive for a vintage Le Mesnil Grand Cru, I'd say!

A New Year's sparkler, the '05 Union des Proprietaires Recoltants 'Cuvée Sublime' Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Champagne is a bright golden yellow color. The nose is scented with tart apple, fresh baked bread and spicy citrus. Fine bubbles tingle the tongue with mineral-laced spice notes. Refreshing and nicely textured finish on this bargain magnum.
