Staff Pick Notes

This Champagne reminds me of Charles Heidsieck, Brut NV. And for good reason! Fleury uses a good proportion of older base wines in their blend, just like Champagne Charlie... This wine's rich, creamy palate and tight, lean acidity are thanks to several years' worth of lees aging and then even more in bottle. It also has some of the finest mousse I've seen on a NV Brut. Don't think twice on this one and dive right in. This is spectacular Champagne for the price.

Glossary

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples.

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...
