Champagne NV – Black Market Deal #35512
- Crisp, fine
- Champagne
This wine might be the most topical we’ve ever had. It’s in our hands entirely because of the global pandemic. An airline we aren’t allowed to name pours this champagne in a section of the plane we aren’t allowed to name. Unless you’ve been living in a cave (not a bad option right now all things considered), you’d be well aware that no one is really flying right now. So someone has to drink this champagne...why not our mofo’s? It’s at an incredible price for a bit of self-care celebrating in this topsy-turvy world. The fizz itself is dry and typical of the NV house style - citrus and brioche with an emphasis on freshness. So kick your feet up, put a movie on a tiny tv right in front of you, and have a glass...it’s the closest thing to a holiday we can get at the moment.

Champagne is not generic sparkling wine, it's a region. There I said it. Get it right people. The reason the French get their lingerie in a twizzle when we call Trilogy 'Champoyne' is the history, the money and the angst that have all gone into making Champagne what it is today: a bureaucratic, strictly controlled, marketing-driven behemoth, that still manages to pump out some of the world's finest and most consistent wines. Adding bubbles to wine was a masterstroke of genius, and makes wine from marginal regions not only palatable, but unique and eminently desirable. But it's the way the grapes are grown, the land they're grown in, and the way the bubbles are generated that makes traditional method sparkling (which all Champagne is) special. There will always be alternatives, but none have the history and marketing power of the luxury Champagne powerhouses. You're not buying wine; you're buying a brand name. And that's ok.
The rules are there ain’t no rules, but here are some foods we think will work pretty well with this wine...
