Finest Fizz (3-pack)
This pack features:
(Bugey, France) Domaine d'Ici Là - Bugey Brut Nature 2021
A stunning sparkling wine that is likely to stay in your memory for a long time to come. A blend of the familiar Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with local additions of Mondeuse and Jaquère from very rocky soils in France's mountainous Bugey region. The wine is aged in steel for 5 months before being re-fermented in bottle and aged on its lees (yeasts) for 18 months prior to disgorging (removing the dead yeasts and sediment as per the Champagne method). A gorgeous alternative to the more typical French fizz, with all the opulence and an added dimension of Alpine freshness. Glorious.
(Champagne, France) Champagne Marie Copinet - Argilla Villonissa 2019
100% Chardonnay planted in a unique local white clay made in egg-shaped amphoras, which are specially crafted from the very same clay. This Blanc de Blanc is at once taut, nervy, smoky, and lean, and dense, full-flavoured, and textured - an almost contradictory combination of linearity and breadth that is truly mind-bending. A work of art from start to finish, and a crown jewel of the estate.
(Kamptal, Austria) Nibiru - Amphibolit Brut Nature 2020
A stunning sparkling wine that is likely to stay in your memory. 50% Chardonnay + 50% Pinot Blanc from very rocky soils in Austria's Kamptal region. The wine is aged in barrel for one year before being re-fermented in bottle and aged on its lees (yeasts) for two years prior to disgorging (removing the dead yeasts and sediment as per the Champagne method). It is opulent but tense, rich but so fresh, complex and intellectual yet so easy to drink. Perfect for special occasions or not, this is serious wine that is immediate and immensely satisfying.
