Domaine Brazilier Methode Traditionelle Brut

This Champagne method sparkling wine is made from 50% Chenin and 50% Pineau d’Aunis. It is a lovely bubbly that will impress all manner of wine snobs. According to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “When I last (and first) wrote up Jean and Benoit Brazilier’s wine (issue 178) I couldn’t even correctly place the Vendomois in Touraine, but not only have I learned a thing or two since about Loire geography, I’ve also come to realize that the Braziliers render some of the finest values in France.” (08/2010)
