Pannier 1999 Egérie de Pannier Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $77
This top wine from Pannier is beautifully crafted and balanced, a credit to the cooperative. It has intense flavors of grapefruit, livened with lemon zest and fresh, crisp acidity. But there is also a weight to it, and a layer of acidity that suggests good aging potential.

Pannier NV Brut Sélection Sparkling (Champagne)
- $26
This is an interesting bottling that opened up considerably while tasting. The nose displays biscuit, grape and lime notes, and there’s plenty of green apple and sweet-tart citrus in the mouth. It has a nice texture on the palate and closes with a grapefruit tang and chalky notes.

Pannier NV Egérie de Pannier Rosé de Saignée Sparkling (Champagne)
- $76
Fragrant and deeply colored, I like the intensity of the flavors, which include dried herb, orange peel, citrus and pear. It’s an interesting, somewhat offbeat wine—a more complex, more rustic and evolved style.

Pannier 1999 Cuvée Louis Eugène Blanc de Noirs Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $56
From Pinot Noir, with just a touch of Pinot Meunier, this is a powerful, full-bodied wine, with aromas of dried flowers and flavors of stewed fruits, balanced with honey and fresh, crisp acidity. Weighty; this is definitely a food-friendly Champagne.

Pannier 1995 Egérie Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $45
Opening with a toasty, sourdough-like leesy nose, the focus here moves to apple, pear and melon flavors on the palate. The texture is full, but also soft, and the bead is not as lively as some Champagnes.

Pannier NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $29
There’s a lot of richness in this wine, which has a pale pink color. You can smell fresh strawberries as well as a yeasty note and something earthy and mulchy. It drinks quite dry and crisp, with a real bite of acidity and some pretty raspberry flavors. It turns rich and complex on the finish.

Pannier 1998 Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $60
A very soft wine, dominated by a creamy character and fresh acidity. Very lively, very light, great as an apéritif.

Pannier 2000 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $52
Crisp and fresh, this is a light wine, dominated by acidity and slightly unripe grapefruit flavors. It’s pleasant, if too acidic, but could soften with age. Keep a couple of years and try again.
