Louis Bouillot 2003 Dessus les Vermots Blanc de Noirs Brut Rosé Sparkling (Crémant de Bourgogne)
-
$58
From Bouillot’s Les Grands Terroirs collection, this rosé is full-bodied, packed with raspberry, apple and red plum flavors. There is a fine, incisive streak of acidity that runs right through this balanced wine, cutting the richness and leaving a final vibrant, bright crispness.

Bailly-Lapierre NV Exception Brut Intense Sparkling (Crémant de Bourgogne)
-
$30
This wine balances extreme dryness with rich fruits. There is acidity, but the main fruit character is of ripe grapefruit and fresh apricots. It is structured, with green plum skins and orange zest, which give the wine a lift, and crispness, leaving a light, floating aftertaste.
