Chanoine NV Tsarine Cuvée Premium Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $46
An enticing, sophisticated wine. While it is fresh, with great floral aromas and flavors, it also shows hints of maturity, with toast just beginning to float over the yeast and grapefruit flavors. The aftertaste is very dry, crisp.

Chanoine NV Tsarine Rosé Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $40
Crisp, dry but fruity, this has just enough body to support the red currant flavors and crisp red-apple skin texture. A lively, vibrant wine, all freshness and light, just what a rosé should be.

Chanoine 2002 Tsarine Premier Cru Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $54
A deliciously dry wine, evoking flavors of crisp green-apple skins and white currants; this is elegant despite its weight and body. It has freshness, certainly, and needs some bottle age. The style is ripe, but the dryness gives some opening austerity.

Chanoine 2003 Tsarine Rosé Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $57
With this vintage, disgorged in June 2007, there is still great youth. But the fine raspberry and other red fruit flavors make this a well-balanced Champagne, leaning on fruit at this stage, but also showing structure.

Chanoine NV Tsarine Premier Cru Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $46
In a young, fresh style, this is full of white fruits, crisp acidity and pink grapefruit with a sugar touch. The aftertaste, though, is relatively soft, but still in balance with the rest of the flavors.

Chanoine 2003 Tsarine Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $75
More toast than fruit even at this young stage, this is a ripe wine, showing big woody, toasty flavors that leave freshness behind. There are flavors of cream, caramel and wood here. Acidity appears on the finish.
— R.V.

Chanoine NV Grande Réserve Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $24
Very soft, gentle Champagne, showing definite signs of a sweet dosage, with its flavors of brown sugar, baked apples and light acidity. It is full-bodied, which keeps the wine together, but it is too rich.
— R.V.
