The Brut offers a crisp, and full-bodied sparkling wine, which has developed rich complexity and fine mousse. The allure of toasty finish from twenty-four months on tirage, is a complement to the sophisticated apple and citrus flavor. Winemaker's Note: Brilliant with ultra fine bubbles. A wonderful fine bouquet dominated by green apple and grapefruit flavors. A truly classic house style!

Curiously, and maybe because the color shows light pale hay, without a hint of tint, this methode champenoise is called a Brut, and not Blanc de Noirs?....even though it is made from 100% red grapes: 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. Each varietal is separately vinified in stainless still and then blended. No malolatic fermentation takes place in order to keep freshness and acidity. Three years on the lees has helped to maintain its fine bead. Apple and citrus aromas. Slight hazelnut and...

The blend is classically proportioned at 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay and a finishing dosage of 1.3% RS adds luscious creaminess.

NV - Gruet Methode Champenoise, Demi-sec
The subtle fruity aromas and the freshness of the Demi-Sec drives the character of this light bodied, semi-dry sparkling wine. The palate carries through with a creamy sensation and vivid flavor of green apples, ripe pears, pineapple and a hint of mineral. It is delicate, lively and elegant! Winemakers Note: Toasty bouquet, light and elegant with good acidity, exotic fruit flavors. A dessert wine for those with a sweet taste!

Schramsberg NV Brut North Coast Mirabelle Methode Champenoise
WN 90pts. - Winemaker Notes - The non-vintage Mirabelle combines the bright, vibrant fruit of the 2002 vintage with the equally dynamic wines of vintages past. Complete with a green apple and jasmine fragrance, filled out by tropical fruit notes, the aromas merrily greet you from the glass. The bright citrus entry on the palate gives way to subtle honey and caramel, with just a hint of fresh cream to balance the zesty acid. Mirabelle, as ever, demonstrates the illustrious combination of yesterday and today, with age enhancing youth and freshness complimenting the more complex characters.

Sparkling wine from New Mexico?! You bet your bubbly, booby, and it's good stuff! Gruet was founded in the early 1980s by the Gruet family of Champagne. They watched as Champagne and Cava houses from France and Spain established new operations in California, but after investigating and rejecting that state, they took a close look at New Mexico and eventually decided on a high altitude (4,300 ft.) location about 170 miles south of Albuquerque, and haven't looked back since. Here's what one...

This nearly garnet Rosé, like all their non-vintage sparkling wines, is aged 24 months en tirage. It has a lovely, bright floral bouquet with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is rich and fruity in a dry, Brut style. The flavor of berries continues on the palate, revealing more strawberry, raspberry, cherry. This sparkler is lots of fun and very festive, but production is limited to 5000 cases per year, so dont miss out!

The Gruet family, looking to expand operations beyond their holdings in Champagne, discovered that New Mexico was a remarkably good substitute. Domaine Saint-Vincent Methode Champenoise is their entry-level sparkling wine that's surprisingly close to the real deal. Displaying a fine mousse--a mark of well-made wine--and bright fruit notes, Domaine Saint-Vincent is balanced by a subtle nutty, yeasty note.

Recommended by: Paula Paradise One of my favorite sparkling values in the marketplace and it hails from the unlikely wine territory of New Mexico. The taste is amazingly close to a NV Brut from Champagne. Toasty biscuit, brine and juicy pear and apple flavors are released along with a steady stream of bubbles. A refreshing balance between acidity and fruit with a creamy, yummy mousse. Enticing flavors all combine to create a satisfying, well-crafted wine.

"Korbel Natural' is a very dry, delicate champagne which exemplifies the fruit forward, Korbel "House Style." Sonoma County Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, primarily from the cool Russian River Valley, gives the Korbel Natural' its unique crisp, fruit centered style. Natural' was originally developed by Adolph Heck in the early 1960s as a dry, sophisticated alternative to the sweet and awkward bulk processed sparkling wines commonly consumed at that time." ~Winery notes

Carbon dioxide gas exists in dissolved form in sparkling wine, and the pressure exerted in the closed bottle causes the gas to remain dissolved; however, according to Henry’s law, as soon as the cork is pulled, the higher gas pressure in the wine will slowly work towards equilibrium with the atmospheric pressure just above the surface of the wine. (This is the same phenomenon as when opening a can of soft drink; after several days, depending on temperature, the drink goes flat. Henry’s law more specifically...

Today, Alain farms 21 acres of vines averaging 33 years of age and he works without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. In addition, he buys grand cru fruit from 32 acres owned by family members in Ambonnay, whose vineyards he oversees. All of Soutiran's wines are made with a portion of reserve wine aged in older Burgundy barrels. His grand cru brut, made from 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, is a mouth-filling wine packed with flavor. But, we gave the nod to Soutiran's grand cru blanc de blancs...
