n this wine Aubry makes a great case for Champagne's historic varieties, which include little-known Petit Meslier, Arbanne, and Fromenteau. These grapes make up just five percent of the classic blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir with Chardonnay. This elegant wine is copper-laden and snappy with mineraled classic depth, light floral honey aromas, and dark notes of crackers, toasted bread, and pepper.

Staff Pick Notes

Ah yes, the Aubry brothers! A dynamic duo out to prove that “Only big houses can produce great Champagne,” is a mantra that’s pure horseradish! Using only premier cru plots and indigenous (but widely forgotten) varietals, they create distinctive Champagne year after year. A bouquet fit for breakfast, warm biscuits and light honey with white flowers in a small vase. The palate is full of savory secondary fermentation notes, toasted sourdough, cracked pepper, and refreshing lemon zest. With a slam bang finish and acidity that’s just firecrackers. So if you’re in a fix and don’t want to pop yet another bottle of Veuve, call upon the Aubry brothers!

Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Champagne

Champagne is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a brilliant food wine. For consistency and quality, turn to the big Champagne brands and you’ll never go wrong. Remember that “Non-Vintage” (NV) is not a dirty word here: NV Champagnes are blends of wines from the best growing seasons. But if you can find one, try a Champagne made by a Grower-Producer. These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
