Taittinger Brut Reserve Champagne, Champagne A.O.C., France: Great finesse and elegance, persistence of bubbles. This is assembled from 35 crus and 40% Chardonnay, so while not a Blanc de Blancs (all white wine grapes, that is Chardonnay), this bubbly still has the elegance of that style. Pair with shellfish, especially fresh oysters. 365312 12.50% D 750 mL $61.85 Score: 93/100. June 10, 2022 Top Rated Sparkling Wine. Sensational Shellfish Wine Full Review

Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé Champagne 2004, Champagne A.C., France: Supremely satisfying and lovely... just like Mom. Hint. Gorgeous notes of field strawberry and some subtle smoke on a long, refreshing finish. Mouth-watering and crisp with some orange citrus lift on the mid-palate. Some kind of wonderful. Pair with shellfish. Drink: 2015-2018. 588475 12% D 750 mL $102.95 Score: 96/100. November 14, 2015 Top Rated Sparkling Wine. Gorgeous Gift Wine Full Review
