(NV MAILLART Platine Champagne) UPDATE: Calbello Rosso I was just informed the Calbello Rosso (from this morning) is the wrong vintage so I'm pulling the offer. We're not in the business of offering wine we know is incorrect so let's let that one go - please do not send order requests to Niki as she is deleting the offer. On to better things... This was supposed to go out this evening but it's a fine substitute for the morning offer and one of my new favorite NV wines. - Jon Rimmerman ******************** Champagne Dear Friends, Fresh off of yesterday's Burghound, this delightful and complex Champagne gives the taster a broad spectrum of flavor for a very low tariff. The NV Platine opens with air contact and layers of nuance peek in and out of the glass over many hours. The noble flavors linger enticingly and the taster is left with an impression of something special. With the price of Champagne approaching absurd levels, it's terrific to see a producer offer his very best NV example for under $40. This wine is very difficult to come by, only 36 cases for the entire US (including restaurants). In addition, it was the highest rated NV example in the report: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a low-priced star among the top-tier of Champagne - it should age beautifully as well, especially for a NV cuvee: NV Nicolas Maillart Brut "Platine" 1er Cru (BH92) EXTREMELY LIMITED Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Champ9440
