Arloux Brut Grand Cuvee Premier Cru Champagne

Drinks Like A $100 Bottle Of Champagne

From a vineyard with records going back over 1,000 years. A sensational Growers Champagne from the Montagne de Reims. It has enjoyed prominent by-the-glass placement at NYC’s Bar Boulud ($24/glass), and was the subject of a glowing article by Florence Fabricant of The New York Times who called it “lively,” “lovely, straightforward and yeasty.” Grown on prime Premier Cru acres in the hamlet of Vrigny, a 15-minute drive west of the Gare de Reims, this bubbly owes its rich complexity to an extended 48 months aging on the lees (instead of Champagne’s mandated 15 months) and is then hand-disgorged to order.
Arloux family roots run deep in Champagne. They have been producing Champagne in the Montagne de Reims region since 1826. Situated in the Premier Cru village of Vrigny with age of vines 35-40 years. With four years on the lees results in a gorgeous, creamy Champagne, with hazelnut, lemon curd, and generous toast and brioche notes. A tremendous value for what’s in the bottle.
