LAST BOTTLE

Don’t dilly, absolutely do not dally…because we have immaculate 94 POINT grower Champagne HALF BOTTLES in the house!! A silly $25 for these charm-dripping lil’ STUNNERS makes no sense…but who needs logic when bubbles are up for grabs?

HAUL your you-know-what straight to the cart, my dear bubbles-frenzied friend!! We RARELY get enough enchantingly layered, senses-transcending grower Champagne for a full offer – no less HALF bottles, dutifully ready to throw in your bag for the movies, picnics, beach days, or just to pop open for a lovely pre-dinner sip, or post-dinner “we really shouldn’t, but ah – why not?” glass. These half bottles are a WHOLE lot of wonderful…and they will not last the day.

The “Nos Moments Carte Blanche” comes to you from the teeny, tiny village of Trigny, where the Blin family has been making Champagne since the 1940s. Maxime’s grandparents Juliette and Robert planted their first vines after WWII, turning their scrappy little creative venture into a full-fledged family legacy. Their son Gilles and his wife Madeleine built out the press and vat room, later passing the whole operation on to Maxime and his wife Claire. Family business, humbly reared, slowly grown into a VISION of sustainable farming and some of the most sincere, expressive Champagnes you could possibly, ever imagine. How much BETTER does it get than that?!

Anywho – the WINE. The name loosely translates to “complete freedom to act as one wishes” – and boy howdy, does it ever give you that gravity-defying, limitless sensation as you sip! Made of 80% Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir…this is just stunnnningggg. There’s no other word (or spelling) that’s appropriate. Based on the flatout EXCELLENT 2018 vintage (70%), it’s finished with a hearty 30% reserve wines that build complexity and depth and so much seductive, nutty intrigue. It is immensely, almost unbelievably layered – how DOES so much character fit into one little split? – giving almond croissants, and Meyer lemons, with salty seashells and bursty white raspberries. Then this light camellia tea and jasmine lift, followed by this warming and roiling cardamom spice essence. Hubba HUBBA!!

It simply does NOT get better than this in the world of outstanding grower Champagne! And the bottle size? With 94 points?? Priced like THIS??? You better move like Usain – this is gonna go JUST as fast!

94 POINTS
"This Extra Brut, composed of 80% Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir, is incredibly expressive on the nose, with perfumed white flowers, sea-spray minerality, and orchard-fruit notes. The palate shows a wonderful saline richness and a slightly oxidative character that comes through nutty and toasty, nuanced by flinty minerals and a hint of black truffle. The minerality really carries the finish, while the mousse is bright, frothy, and crisp." -Decanter
