Montaudon 1996 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $36
Very fragrant, this floral bottling shows bright green herb and lime aromas and flavors. Good acidity and a brisk mouthfeel give it a lively, refreshing character. Finishes with moderate length, more tangy flavors.

Montaudon NV Grande Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $35
A pretty, salmon-colored wine, it starts off with scents of strawberry, hay and earth, with just a whiff of cinnamon spice as well. There’s a good focus to the mid-palate, with rich cherry flavors mingled with tobacco (!) and spice. Surprising length and concentration follow through into an unmistakable cherry tobacco flavor in the finish. Distinctive and good.

Montaudon 1995 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $36
Aromas of vanilla with lime and spice notes, almost liqueur-like on the nose. Good balance and mouthfeel. Lime and licorice/anisette flavors dance on the palate and continue through the lengthy finish. An interesting wine, showing unique character.

Montaudon NV Grande Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $31
The pretty salmon-pink color of this sparkler perfectly presages the strawberry fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Bits of leather and toast add a dose of complexity, but the wine turns very tart on the finish, verging on sour.

Montaudon NV Chardonnay Premier Cru Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $34
Is that breakfast in the nose? The scrambled eggs and toast aromas leave you asking for the bacon and coffee. this bubbly is bulky and full-bodied, with a sugary center of ripe red apple and pear. Good in a simple way, but not exciting.

Montaudon NV Chardonnay Premier Cru Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $39
There’s a distinct and unmistakable scent of rotten eggs in this wine, which usually indicates excessive amounts of sulfur were used during bottling. Apart from that we have a rough and tumble, rustic style with big fruit and a yeasty, chewy finish.

Montaudon NV Grande Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $30
Bread dough and yeast aromas but little fruit comprise the nose, while the palate, which is fairly bland at first, picks up speed later on to display some tangy citrus. The finish is lengthy, and it’s here that you get some berry fruit, citrus rind and toast.
