Champagne Is Always The Answer

PSA: Champagne is always the answer, but what what the question?? Sparkling Smile courtesy of Champagne Fleury, a magical 2010 Extra Brut, blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. This darling was waited 12 years sur lie before discouragement two years ago whispered her invitation that it was time to shine.

From the moment it graces the glass, a delicate stream of effervescent pearls dances upwards, promising something exquisite.

The nose is an intoxicating embrace of ripe red berries—think sun-warmed wild strawberries and a hint of crushed raspberries—intertwined with the sophisticated allure of toasted brioche and a subtle, creamy almond. There's a mineral tension, a flinty spark that hints at the depths beneath its charming surface.

The first sip is a tantalizing paradox: rich and full-bodied, yet exquisitely precise. The Pinot Noir asserts its sensual presence with a velvety texture and a core of dark cherry and plum, while the Chardonnay lends a bright, almost citrusy curd and a long, lingering finish of salted caramel and a hint of white truffle. The extra brut dosage leaves its kiss, urging you back for more. Undeniable charm and elegant power.
