($36) Light gold with a very energetic mousse Dusty white peach, pear and floral aromas are pure and bright. Lush and open-knit, with a gentle mineral note adding focus to the orchard and tangerine flavors. Finishes with soft, gentle citrus flavors and a hint of marzipan. Very nicely balanced.

Jean-Louis Delavenne and his son Jean-Christophe farm 10 hectares in the heart of Bouzy, one of a very few villages in Champagne that can claim Grand Cru status. Located at the foot of the Montagne de Reims these vineyards enjoy nearly perfect southern exposure and yield complex, intensely aromatic pinot noir.
The Cuvée Tradition is a blend of this exceptionally ripe Pinot--from vintages four and five years old -- and a small amount of Chardonnay.
Exotic floral and fruit overtones are balanced by bright acidity and a delicate perlage.
Excellent with classic hors d'oeurves.
