Many of you love the Haslinger Champagne and Collard Greffiere that we offer at this price point. The problem is they always sells out and we go through months at a time without any to offer which has just happened again. So the hunt has been on to find another Champagne to offer that’s the same quality and same price. We have finally found it, and wait till you taste it, 92pts Wine Spectator, 91pts Decanter and straight from France the Charles de Cazanove Champagne Tete de Cuvee Brut is outstanding quality, everything you look for and the price is right $29.99.
The Charles de Cazanove brand is one of the oldest in the Champagne region. It was started in 1811, by Charles Gabriel De Cazanove, who came from a long line of master glassmakers. Their Champagne was enjoyed by European politicians and diplomats, as well as many French presidents. In 1983, leading winemaker, Christophe Rapeneau, joined Charles De Cazanove and set up and started the trajectory of the great quality Champagne they make today. This is definitely one of the great values coming out of Champagne. Tête de cuvée is a French term that can be loosely translated as top batch or top blend. This is the term the Champenois use to describe their very best (and most expensive) bottlings. Tiny bubble that sings on the palate. A must for the holiday season festivities and celebration.
The fine bubbles form a large string against a golden background. A fruity nose and delicious, persistent barley sugar and brioche flavors. A very lively wine that is very versatile. This is a bright, easygoing Champagne for any party! This champagne pairs well with shellfish, pork dishes, mild and soft cheeses, and rich fish. Blend: 10% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, 60% Pinot Noir. Winemaker
This Champagne offers an array of flavor, including toasted brioche, Gala apple, lemon zest, graphite and ginger, with a touch of honey. Elegant, but with good intensity and a moderate, nut-tinged finish. 92pts WS
