Pommery Pink POP NV 187 ml, Reims, France$25After her husband's sudden death in 1858, Jeanne Alexandrine Louis Pommery inherited control of this venerable wine company, thrusting her into the limelight, following Madame Clicquot as the region's second most famous widow. The Veuve Pommery then made an enterprising and impactful decision to move the company towards the exclusive production of sparkling wines and subsequently changed the course of history by developing the first dry nonsweet Champagne, the 1874 Nature, which is now of course the global standard. Combining centuries of tradition with a contemporary twist, Pommery has now created POP, an impertinent and deliberately provocative sparkling wine for those who feel that Champagne is no longer strictly for celebrating. This wine is young and fresh with a delicious, almost sensual flavor of red currants and pomegranates. Champagne flutes are optional, as this sparkling wine, evocative of the back-stage parties of couture week in Paris, is intended to be sipped right from the bottle through a straw (our most fashionable guests bring their own. . . in sterling silver)
-
Barboursville Brut NV, Barboursville, Virginia$45The Barboursville Estate circa 1814 became the first to begin cultivating Vinifera grapes in America after the earlier attempts of Thomas Jefferson, who coincidentally designed the estate for former Virginia Governor and Senator James Barbour. This brut is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes and resonates with a bouquet of vibrant ripe pears
-
Cristalino Cava Brut NV, Penedés, Spain$40Crafted at the Jaume Serra Estate, which has been producing wines since 1943, this Méthode Champenoise Cava has a stunning green-gold straw color with fine bubbles, accentuating a nose of fragrant citrus, tart apples, and figs. 86 points Wine Enthusiast
-
Fox Creek Vixen NV, McLaren Vale, Australia$50Traditionally served "down under" as THE wine for celebrating special occasions, Vixen is a sparkling red wine (Yes, RED WINE!!!) blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Compared to "liquid Black Forest cake," this dark crimson wine yields a lush, semi-dry palette of blackberries, licorice, and chocolate
-
Möet et Chandon Dom Périgno n 1996, Épernay, France$375Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!" These were the words that Benedictine monk Pierre Pérignon exclaimed as he first savored the style of wine that we now know simply as Champagne. He is credited with developing the method for producing Champagne around the year 1700. Now, Dom Pérignon is only produced during the best vintage years, which has made the name synonymous with excellence and propelled this wine to stardom as France's most revered export and indeed one of the world's most widely recognized and sought-after luxury items. 98 points Robert Parker
-
Saint-Hilaire Blanc de Blancs 2003, Limoux, France$55Acclaimed to be Thomas Jefferson's favorite, 49 bottles were found in the cellar of his home Monticello at the time of his death. Saint-Hilaire is controversially reputed to be France's first naturally sparkling wine, with historians noting production by the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint- Hilaire as far back as 1531, more than 150 years before Pierre Pérignon is credited with developing the same process. 87 points Wine Enthusiast
-
Kluge Estate SP Brut 2002, Albemarle County AVA, Virginia$75While most sparkling wines are made with a blend of both red and white grapes, this wine is crafted with only the finest hand-picked Chardonnay grapes, the definition of a Blanc de Blancs. Overflowing with creamy, exuberant bubbles, this sparkling has a sharp finish with underlying flavors of baked red apples. The vineyard's owner Patricia Kluge is a native of London and is one of the leading proponents of Virginia's wine industry and exponential growth, cultivating wines on a neighboring estate to Thomas Jefferson's home Monticello
-
Bodega Luigi Bosca Bohème, Maipu, Mendoza, Argentina$250I was first introduced to this amazing wine while spending the afternoons between private tango lessons in the library bar at the Faena Hotel + Universe in Buenos Aires. The Arizu family have maintained this high-profile estate for four generations, and famed winemaker Carlos José Hernandez Toso crafts this ultra-premium cult sparkling as a part of their Luxury portfolio from vines that are more than 100 years old. This traditional blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier is very expressive of its unique terroir my personal favorite
-
Piper-Heidsieck Brut NV, Reims, France$110Dedicated to the infamous Marie Antoinette in 1785, Henri Piper presented this particular wine to her in person, thus leading 14 Royal Courts to demand that Piper-Heidsieck become their official supplier. This blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes evokes, as one critic waxed poetic, "Spring blossoms and fresh mornings with a gentle spontaneity." 92 points Wine Enthusiast
-
Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 1996, Reims, France$295This prestigious cuvée is produced in limited quantities using only the best vintages of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Named for the 27 year old widow Clicquot, who in 1814, daringly earned her reputation as "the first business woman of the modern era," by secretly sending an entire shipment of Champagne into Russia against Napoléon's blockades. This wine has a bouquet of apples and citrus mingled with baked bread and finishes with a taste of pralines and mild spices. 95 points Wine Spectator
-
Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 1995, Le Mesnil S/Oger, France$495Quality is ever present in a Salon Champagne, arguably the best in the world. The aristocratic House of Salon created the first Blanc de Blancs Champagne, a style to which they have stayed true, producing only single vintage, single varietal cuvées, having crafted only 30 vintages in the past 75 years. Complex yet focused, pure and ethereal, scents like honeysuckle and jasmine tickle the nose while hints of lemon candy and exotic pineapple dance around the palette with glimpses of coffee and grilled hazelnuts and a warm mineral finish. This Champagne exists exclusively for the most discriminating connoisseurs who crave only the best of the best and settle for nothing less. 97 points Wine Enthusiast
