Champagne Paul Berthelot Eminence Premier Cru Brut NV (Magnum 1.5L)
Proprietary Blends | France
$99.95 $120.00 - 1.5L
“Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.” -- Dorothy Parke. Magnums! As you all know, bubbly is ALWAYS better in large format, and our amazing direct-imported price makes it even sweeter.
The perennial killer Premier Cru bubbly called “Eminence” from Berthelot hails from vineyards the wineries vineyards in Dizy and Avenay, and they’ve been doing it since 1940. In the last handful of years however, Berthelot has really hit their stride. This new release is made entirely from the warm, lush 2016 vintage, and it just gets our motors running big time -- so much stone-fruity energy, candied lemon peel, packed Asian pear and croissant dough, a touch of mint and lychee with toasted apples on the finish...so GOOD! It’s built from mostly pinot noir, with 30% chardonnay with a 5.25 gram dosage. If you don’t love this stuff, we want it back!
PAIRING IDEAS: We’re making veal piccata tonight (or do chicken or fish even, if you like) with all that wonderful caper-y briney-ness – it’s perfect with this toasty bottle of bubbly goodness. Here’s an easy recipe!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: New discovery for us, on the “surf tunes” side of things: check out Messer Chups “Pink Pantheratu”, pretty cool…!
