Champagne Antoine Derigny Brut Grand Cru NV Over 50% Killer Daily Bubbles!

If you’ve jumped at any of our earlier offers of Antoine Derigny, you know what I’m talking about. Why these bottles don’t cost twice as much is one of the more delightful mysteries in life. (Sure, that we direct import the wines straight from Champagne ourselves certainly helps, but still…) This absolutely titillating bottle of bubbly goodness is crafted by the Bernard Remy Champagne estate, with Bernard’s son, Rudy, steering the course of these wines since 2008. The estate is located in the village of Allemant on the Cóte de Blancs, not far from the big and bustling cities of Reims and Epernay. With 11 hectares of vines throughout Montagne de Reims (including the aforementioned Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger) Rudy thoughtfully composes his blends by weaving the flavors, textures, and aromatic complexities of prime lots of chardonnay into this brilliant bubbly.

A prolonged maturation of over 5 years on the lees grants weight and roundness to the penetrating and mineral characteristics of Le Mesnil’s classic limestone soil. A finishing dosage of 10 grams per liter (nearing the upper-limits of the Brut classification) brightens and exemplifies the beautifully rich orchard fruit character – and sculpts a lean and chiseled wine into a handsomely toned and flat out fit morsel that will have you salivating for more.

Chockablock with toasty and citrusy luminosity, and a veritable breadbasket of titillating flavors that range from sweet dough, toasty croissant, butter cookie, candied lemon, baked apple tarts, crisp Bartlett pears, fresh ginger, and lemon oil extract… there is simply tons going on in this bottle. Beautifully fresh, pure, and immensely satisfying – wherein the weight and texture is kept fresh and minerally throughout… tip your caps to Le Mesnil here, my friends! We only wish we had more of this Grand Cru Champagne at a price that can’t be beat.
