Antoine Derigny Brut Rose NV

Was $45!! How do we do it? Well, the answer is we’ve been buying wine professionally directly in Europe for a LONG time. Don’t miss this no-brainer! So good. A ridiculously screaming deal at $29.95 AND free ground shipping on 6+. Get sipping! Antoine Derigny is crafted by Bernard Remy. After working from 1996 under his father, his son Rudy took over in 2008 and has since expanded the business. Initially very small, with just a few vines of his own, the family business expanded at a steady clip. It is now comprised of 11 hectares in various locations which includes some highly reputed vineyards in the Grands Crus area of Mesnil-sur-Oger and in the Montagne de Reims area. For many years the wines were consumed almost entirely in France, until we made a fateful trip there some years back!

This is flat out sexy Brut Rose for a song! This oozes freshly picked strawberry, blood orange zest and hints of dough, dried honey, wet stone and subtle raspberry nuances. It has a touch of crystallized ginger and more strawberry on the palate with balanced acidity and a floral tinge through the finish. Really sexy balance and drinkability here, this is a total crowd pleaser that will have your dinner guests reaching for more. Try this with ginger tuna on rice crackers with wasabi aioli and prepare for magic. As we said, this is a no-brainer -- while it lasts!
