| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | French Champagne producers have been active in California—and elsewhere (Gruet, New Mexico)—in the United States producing sparkling wine in the traditional manner since the 1970s. That’s when the Champagne Taittanger house began looking for land in California for the purpose of making an American sparkling wine. The winery was established in 1987. This lovely example of what traditional methods can do with California fruit shows aromas of wild strawberry, rose petal and a touch of the scent of honey. On the palate you’ll find crisp, clean, lively red fruit flavors. The deep red salmon color appeals to the eye, as does the generous mousse, which lasts a good while in the glass and is followed by threads of persistent small bead. Alc. 12%. Brut denotes sparkling wines of less than 15 g/l of residual sugar. Grapes: Pinot Noir (58%) and Chardonnay (42%). Serve at 50ºF/10ºC in tulip-shaped flutes. Foods: creamy seafood bisque; pasta salad with poached shrimp and a lemon-juice/mild oil dressing (scant); roast chicken; even steak; mild triple cream cheeses
