Rare

1998 Piper-Heidsieck "Cuveé Rare", Magnum

Rich, golden color. Woodsmoke, paprika, toasted nuts, cherries, spices, slight skunky/rubber tire notes.  A bold Champagne, with lots of body and a lingering finish.

Available from K & L Wines for a mere $399.00.

K&L Champagne Tasting Tent event, Oct 19 2014

Fluteau Blanc de Noirs Brut N.V.

Fluteau Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne
100% Pinot Noir.

Pale gold with a very slight pinkish tinge.  Fine, not very agressive bubbles.

Peach, lavender, and Asian pear with just a bit of biscuit and toast. Nicely acidic.  12% A.B.V. Not a standout in any aspect, but fine as an aperitif or something to freshen up the palate before moving on to a more serious wine.

Beer & Bubbles!

Saw this in the Southwest in-flight Spirit magazine.
Sounds intriguing.

Reminded me of the saying 'I have Champagne taste, but Beer money.'

DeChanceny Cremant de Loire Brut Rose

Recently had the chance to taste this DeChanceny Cremant de Loire Brut Rose.

It was light with good yeast, a delicate rose-jelly blush on color.
Decent but not effusive bubbles.
Well-balanced acidity, hints if green apple.

Recommended.

Cuvée Robert Fleury Champagne

Barrel-fermented, biodynamic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. Crisp, with a dominant flavor of apples. Good body and acidity; medium bubbles.  Overall nice, but not really a standout.  The Fleury Brut Rosé Champagne, at a comparable price, is a more compelling choice from this producer.
