Sparkling Wine

Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne 2015, Champagne A.C., France: Love this vintage 2015 rosé Champagne from Veuve Clicquot. All dressed up and ready to go to a party (in its gift box), this elegant bubble is luxurious on the palate with a fine creamy mousse of red berry, ripe apple, mandarin zest, baked pastry and sweet brioche flavours, smoky and toasty on a super long and zesty flinty mineral finish. Highly addictive and effortless to drink, buy several because one can never have too much great vintage champagne ;) Rosé Champagne food pairings: turkey sandwiches, veal tenderloin, light fruit pastries. Drink: 2024 - 2030 588475 12% XD 750 mL $133.95 Score: 96/100. November 2024. Top Rated Sparkling Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Red Wine

Château l'Eglise d'Armens 2020, Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux A.C., France: From Domaines Comte de Malet Roquefort, Château l'Eglise d'Armens 2020 Grand Cru Classé is a rich and beautifully-crafted 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc red wine blend sourced from vines averaging 35 years of age around the village of Pey d'Armen in the Saint-Émilion wine region. Dry, medium-plus-bodied, juicy and spicy with dark berry, anise, earthy and dark chocolate flavours plushy on the palate, this lovely Saint-Émilion red blend is framed by structured, velvety tannins. Beautiful now and will be even better in 2025 as the tannins tame. Chateau Armens belongs to the Malet Roquefort family who have been established in Saint-Emillion since 1705. Food pairings: roast pork tenderloin, veal medallions in wild mushroom sauce, Coq aux vin. Drink: 2025 - 2032 18140 13.5% XD 750 mL $41.95 Score: 91/100. November 2024. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
