A fine, mature, light and poised wine which is great for an aperitif. The blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir is fresh, floral, just a touch toasty. Great balance from one of the top wines from this excellent cooperative.

Beaumont des Crayères NV Grand Prestige Brut Sparkling
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A steely, mineral-driven Champagne, dry with signs of toasty bottle age. The wine is also crisp, layered with intense apples and citrus. The fruit and the more mature character are right in balance at this stage.

Beaumont des Crayères 2002 Fleur de Rosé Sparkling
This small cooperative, based in Mardeuil, always seems to punch above its station, thanks to good quality fruit. This rosé is the same—a freshly crisp wine that has good depth of flavor and great aromas of red berry fruits. Delicious. Not available in the U.S.

Beaumont des Crayères 1999 Nostalgie Brut Sparkling
While it is relatively soft, a product of the 1999 vintage, this wine still has great style. With its still fresh grapefruit, white currant and floral character, it has youth. At the same time, there is the beginning of maturity showing through in some toastiness. It is ready to drink now.
