Champagne
 Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Brut

Bathe in it if you can but bring a straw to the tub.
Always a treat (second only to its pinky sister in my house) the Feuillatte Brut is a pretty straw-hued sparkler with assertive tiny bubbles and aromas of peach skin, toasted almonds, apple and citrus blossoms. Its super-crisp on the entry with a mouth- filling mousse tasting of orchard fruits, mineral and lemon rind then grows creamy mid-palate and finishes with toasted, nutty flavours.

 Lanson Brut Rose

An attractive salmon-amber hue with a rich mousse and a persistant bead. Aromas of berries and caramel praline with a side of toast and floral bouquets. Super smooth and creamy with lovely weight, flavours of spiced berries and toasty caramel with a clean, lingering finish.
This classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir has a full texture and pairs well with most anything from cheese plates or holiday turkey to planked salmon.

 A perfect cheese for bubbles...
 Delice de Bourgogne

















Triple cream cows milk brie from Bourgogne France.
This creamy white uber-soft cheese spreads like butter and is decadently rich. It has a mild aroma and flavour similar to the inoculated blue cheese - a distinct sharp medicinal/mouldy flavour - but in a mild and appealing way.
It also has hints of earthy and herbal nuances but mostly its just incredibly rich!
As you can see by the photo above it has a thin mottled rind where the flavour is sharpest and it gets creamier toward the centre. It also doesn't travel well so keep it safe!
Wine Pairing: A red Burgundy would be the obvious choice but I love it with Champagne and sparkling wine which cuts through the richness.
Approx. $3.99/100gr at Les Amis du Fromage

Gorgeous, rich aromas of red berries, peach jelly, honey blossoms and juicy apples with nutty/toasty notes. The Cipes Blanc de Noirs shows the elegance of age, integrated flavours and weighty texture, creamy-crisp on the palate with lemon curd and toasty elements on the finish.
