Amazing Find:'06 Brut Bubbly

 

 

Amazing Find: 2006 Brut Bubbly for $160/Case!

 

2006 Naveran Brut Blanc de Blanc...this is a Parkerized, Methode Champenoise-made sparkler of incredible quality, and given its price of $160/Case of 12, it is a crazy Bargain.

 

Economists have forecast 9 out of the last 5 recessions...

 

There's an old saying in our business that goes something like this: "Wine sales are not dictated by the complexion of the economy because people buy wine to celebrate and people buy wine to commiserate, but either way...people buy wine".   I can tell you that there IS SOME truth to the above adage, but recently (like today) the bargain hunters have been driving hard to the net looking for quality, varietal wines that won't cause buyer's remorse or P.O. one's significant other when the CC statement arrives in the mail.

 

The ability to adjust to the requirements of one's clientele is crucial in survival during these trying times.  This thought brings me to today's discovery.

 

That is correct sir!  A Vintage dated (2006), 100% Estate-Grown, Cork Finished Blanc de Blanc Brut made from 50% Xarello ("The more Xarello, the better the wine" -Spanish Sparkling Wine Expert dude). 

 

A very impressive package featuring a tasteful, vintage, Jeles Cheret inspired painting of a woman in a big, feathery hat staring intently into your eyes as you pick up the bottle.

 

Parker says "88 Points"... "The Vintage Brut Blanc de Blanc (a term obviously has a different connotation in Espan~a as in France it would have to be 100% Chardonnay) is a crisp, chalky sparkler that should drink well for 1-2 years."

 

*"90 Points"/RC...Bright, crisp fruit flavors of citrus, Gravenstein apple and minerals; super-clean with laser-beam focus and a long, enticing finish; amazing value given that this wine is estate-grown and made in the costly and labor-intensive Methode Champenoise process rather than bulk Charmat or transfer.  How can they do it for the price?

 

*2006 Naveran Blanc de Blanc Brut $160.00/Case  

 

        The wine will be in the shop on Wed of next week
