Sort By:

Jaillance NV Brut Sparkling (Crémant de Bourgogne)

Price $16

This wine shows a richer, smoother mouthfeel than others of its ilk. The nose is nicely toasty, with tropical fruit aromas and mint. Flavors are similar, dealing out nicely oaked fruit that goes down easily. — M.D. (12/15/2006)

Jaillance 1999 Grande Réserve Brut Clairette (Crémant de Die)

Price $20

A hint of sulfur blows off to reveal muted cookie and chalk, but the palate opens up with lemon-lime flavors and a smokey edge. Crisp and steely in the mouth, it hints at roundness and sweetness without taking the plunge. — M.D. (12/15/2006)

points

Jaillance 2004 Grande Tradition Muscat (Clairette de Die)

Price $21

Not too dissimilar from an Italian Moscato d’Asti, this offers exotic scents of oranges and tropical fruit. It’s a bit sweet, but balanced in part by the bubbles. This would be great at brunch, or served on its own. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

points

Jaillance NV Cuvee Imperiale Muscat Blanc à Petit Grain (Clairette de Die Méthode Dioise Ancestrale)

Price $15

This curiousity is a Rhîone Valley wine made from Muscat grapes, not too dissimilar from Moscato d'Asti, but fully sparkling. As a result, it has flowery, tropical fruit aromas and flavors, and a touch of sweetness on a relatively light-bodied frame. — J.C. (12/1/2004)
