CHAMPAGNE TO IMPRESS

 

 If you plan to pull out all the stops this new year, we have two suggestions for you:

Louis Roederer Cristal 2002 Roederer’s 2002 Cristal is still in its infant, fresh stage. Subtle notes of pears, flowers, spices, mint, minerals and oak are woven into a cashmere-like frame of extraordinary grace and elegance. This beautifully-sculpted Champagne possesses notable clarity but with the additional depth of fruit that is characteristic of this vintage. It is a gorgeous, seductive Cristal of the highest level. 96+ points Wine Advocate.

Regular price $278.99 Our price $214.49

Pommery Cuvee Louise 1998. The estate’s 1998 Brut Cuvee Louise is a linear, focused wine endowed with layers of smoke, flowers, minerals and white fruit that come together with impressive length and clarity. This deceptively mid-weight wine closes with a long, elegant finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. 92 points Wine Advocate

Our price $217.99  

PREMIER CRU AT A PREMIUM PRICE

Don't want to shell out the three figures it will take to buy you the top tier wine from a big Champagne house? Don't fret, you can still get a premier cru wine at a fraction of the cost by buying a grower champagne.

Grower Champagnes are so-called, because they are made by the farmers that grow the grapes. They don't spend millions of dollars (or Euros) each year on advertising, which is why you may not have heard the names of the producers before, but it is also why they are a fraction of the price for an equal quality wine. Try:

Guy Larmandier Brut Rose, NV. A gorgeous mineral-driven wine, bursting with fresh acidity. Delicate aromas of red fruits combine with a luxurious mouthfeel, to make this an excellent wine with dinner as a celebratory sparkler.

Our price $72.49

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK

Looking for value this New Year's? You could stick with the same old Prosecco or Cava you always turn to, or you could try the Franciacorta from Brutell.

Franciacorta is sparkling wine made in the traditional Champagne method from Lombardy, Italy, made with Chardonnay grapes. Not typically bargain wines, the Brutell impresses with its excellent character and great price.

Our price $28.99
