Beaumont des Crayères 2000 Fleur de Prestige Millésime Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
A delicious, full, creamy wine, the mousse just filling the mouth. It is well balanced, some toasty fruits going with the flavors of grapefruit and apricot. The wine has an impressively taut texture, bringing the promise of some aging potential.

Beaumont des Crayères NV Grand Prestige Brut Sparkling (Champagne)

- $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 1997 Fleur de Prestige Sparkling (Champagne)

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 1999 Nostalgie Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
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.
