This is an impressive Champagne, especially as it’s the entry-level non-vintage for this Champagne House.  Medium-light straw-gold in color. A nice, strong yeast and toasted aroma, almost like Marmite but in a good way (if you can imagine that).  On the palate, more toast, fruit and lemon integrate into a

Smooth and buttery, with obvious but not overwhelming wood effects. Apples and pears open on the attack, with minerality shining through on the mid-palate. Acids are high enough to offer good balance to the buttery wood. This is a very pleasant food wine. Drink with roast chicken. Recommended (88). DH

Clear, bright, pale golden color. Clean on the nose with medium intensity aromas: caramel, vanilla, orange, yeast, white floral, fleshy sun-warmed peaches, and dried ginger. Dry on the palate with medium-high acidity, medium to medium-full body. Flavors of candied lemon peel, orange, tart peaches, green apple. A creamy, round texture

The nose is interesting, yeasty, with strawberries and smoke. On the palate the yeast shows well, like sourdough bread spread with strawberries and raspberries. Food-friendly, this would pair well with smoked trout. Highly Recommended (91). DH Who: Domaine Chandon What: Sparkling Rosé (48% Chardonnay, 44% Pinot Noir, 8% Pinot Meunier)

This mini-carafe style bottle is very cute in the 187ml (split) size. When the cap is twisted off, a clean, floral aroma appears first. Then dried fruit and florals on the palate. This feels more “off dry” than sweet. Medium bubbles, fairly low apparent acidity, with an unremarkable finish.  Try

New in the US this year, Lanson’s brut rosé is an elegant example of a champagne that more than fulfills its promise. Pale salmon in color, with very small bubbles.  The barest hint of rose-petals with light yeast on the nose. A bone dry, beautifully balanced wine. Some raspberry, and

The color is a pale bright yellow. The nose is very pleasant, with offering a blend of tropical and citrus fruits, mango and grapefruit, with toasted sweet rolls in the background. The Sauvignon Blanc leads on the palate with white grapefruit and fresh-cut grass. Honeysuckle shows on the mid-palate, followed
