Read the Vinous review first -- 94 points! It breaks down the unusual grapes used in this wonderfully complex and harmonious Champagne. Aubry is nothing if not truly pioneering since their inception in 1790, with 16.5 hectares from 60 individual locations to work with, and a focus recently on an almost archaeological search for old plant varieties. They have succeeded in making a brilliant Champagne out of three forgotten grape types: Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and more. THIS cuvee is a shining star and hard to find outside France, so we are beyond thrilled to have a few cases to offer today, not to mention the VERY FINE PRICE.

Champagne connoisseurs, geeks and collectors...this is the one to get today! Super limited, while it lasts!

PAIRING IDEAS: There’s so much fragrant citrus and flowery notes in this luscious wine. We want to let it SHINE, so our pick would be simple seared scallops with a light citrusy sauce.

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: We're playing the new Leon Bridges' album "Gold-Diggers Sound" this morning -- check out "Steam"!

About The Producer

In the heart of Petit Montagne de Reims, twin brothers Pierre and Philippe Aubry have shouldered a legacy dating from 1790, with 16.5 hectares from 60 individual locations. Today, Pierre holds a national diploma in enology and Philippe in biology; they run this small company in a highly innovative way. The yield is low and only “coeur de cuvée” is used for the vintage wines. The grapes are divided into five classes according to their quality, and a considerable amount is vinified in old, traditional 205-liter oak barrels. The most remarkable thing about Aubry is that, through almost archaeological search for old plant varieties, they have succeeded in making a brilliant Champagne out of three forgotten grape types: Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, and Petit Meslier. Furthermore many grapevines are planted “en foule,” as they were before phylloxera.

Reviews

Vinous
The 2014 Brut Blanc des Blancs Sablé Le Nombre d'Or is a blend of 25% Chardonnay, 25% Arbanne, 25% Petit Meslier and 25% Pinot Blanc (note the des instead of de in the name), a combination that works beautifully. Sweet floral notes, citrus confit and a whole range of savory notes grace this distinctive, sublime Champagne from Aubry. The Nombre d'Or is exotic, racy and full of character. Disgorged: February, 2020.
