Chandon, Brut, Napa, NV

Segura Viudas, Cava, Heredad Reserva, Spain, NV
Great toasty aromas, smooth texture and fruity, spicy flavors that linger on the finish. (WS)

Argyle, Brut, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, 2005
Fruit flavors of yellow plum, d'Anjou pear crumble blend well with a hint of honey and a rich mouthfeel of "creamy" texture. The pinpoint bubbles carry the flavor through to a deliciously long, long finish.

Piper Heidseck, Extra Dry, Champagne, France, NV
A well-rounded, balanced sparkler, showing hazelnut, citrus and honey flavors, augmented by toast, well-integrated with the medium-bodied weight and lively structure. (WS)

Louis Roederer, Brut Premier, Champagne, France, NV

Pale golden colour. Delicate, persistent beading. Rich yet subtle bouquet with hints of hawthorn, almonds and toast. Clean attack, creamy structure. The inclusion of reserve wines gives the complexity and roundness characteristic of Louis Roederer champagnes. Arguably the best NV!

Veuve Cliquot, Brut, Champagne, France, NV
A bracing Champagne, boasting almond, honey and ginger flavors. Appealing texturally, it firms up on the finish, but sure to be a crowd peaser. (WS)

Bollinger, Brut, Special Cuvee, Champagne, France, NV
A combination of freshness and maturity highlight this medium‐bodied bubbly. The flavors evoke toast, nuts and citrus, while the vivid acidity keeps it all focused. (WS)

Bollinger, Brut, Grande Année, Champagne, France, 1999
Fine depth and complexity in both aromas and flavors. Citrus, ginger, vanilla, whole‐grain bread and nut elements combine for a harmonious presentation. Full‐bodied, yet sophisticated and lively. A long, luxurious finish. (WS)

Moet & Chandon, Cuvee Dom Perignon, Champagne, France, 2001
There's a high‐toned minty graphite accent to the aroma, with a citric edge on the palate. The structure is overlaid with lemon and bread dough notes. This is tight and crisp on the finish, so break out the sole or shellfish, or wait a few years. Best from 2008 through 2020.

Louis Roederer, Brut, Cristal, Champagne, France, 2000
This goes for personality and finesse. An assertive, honeyed style, with plenty of citrus flavors. Mature coffee and roasted nut accents are peeking through, with a robust structure and a dried citrus aftertaste. Drink now through 2025.

Grower Champagnes
As the name implies, Grower Champagnes are sparkling wines made in the Champagne region of France that are produced by the same estate that owns the vineyards from which the grapes come. While large Champagne houses, such as Veuve, Moet, etc, may use grapes sourced from as many as 80 different vineyards, Grower Champagnes tend to be more terroir focused, being sourced from single or closely located vineyards around a village. The popularity of "Grower Champagnes" is a relatively recent phenomenon. As of 2008, these wines accounted for less than 3% of the Champagne market. A Grower Champagne can be identified by the initials RM (meaning Récoltant-Manipulant) on the win label.
