Gratien et Meyer NV Cuvée Flamme Brut White (Saumur)
There’s an attractive maturity to this bottling of Cuvée Flamme, giving a wine that is certainly dry, but is also rich. The initial fruitiness has been replaced with almond, yeast and toast flavors, balanced with a final ripe burst of baked apple.

Gratien et Meyer NV Cuvée Flamme Brut White (Saumur)
- $27
With three years of bottle age, this is a sophisticated wine, ripe and soft, with a creamy mousse. The 30% Cab Franc (blended with Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay) gives flavors of raspberry fruits. Gratien et Meyer’s Champagne connection (the firm is linked with Alfred Gratien) shows in the depth of flavor and complexity. Imported by New Castle Imports.

Gratien et Meyer NV Cuvée Flamme Brut Rosé Cabernet Franc (Saumur)
Pale salmon and orange in color, this is a wine that brings together almonds, red fruits and a yeasty character. It is full-bodied, the ripe fruits like fruit candy, a bitter edge never far away.

Gratien et Meyer 2005 Premium Millésimé Brut White (Saumur)
A big, rich wine, from a fine year in the Loire. The fruits are sweet, although the acidity and texture make this wine dry. Flavors of peach, pear and spice work well together here, giving a fine, ripe mouthful of creamy mousse.

Gratien et Meyer NV Brut White (Saumur)
- Online Exclusive
A lightly crisp sparkling wine, given a delicious lift with citrus and mineral components. Floral and fruity, this is fine apéritif wine, just soft enough, an edge of nuts and yeast giving an extra dimension.

Gratien et Meyer NV Brut Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (Saumur)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A fresh, pleasantly crisp wine that has some structure and citrus flavors. The Chardonnay in the blend gives some roundness, but there is too high a level of acidity to finish.
