White strawberry, dried grass, orange rind. Blooming apple blossom, cantaloupe slices, a touch of chalk. A faint whiff of French baguette like a brisk wall past a bakery. Beautifully balanced, beautifully structured, and all around just a perfectly crafted bubbly. This Wafflart Antoniolli Brut Tradition Premier Cru Champagne is the perfect way to celebrate!

This blanc de noir, crafted from Premier Cru fruit from the village of Sacy, is absolutely wonderful. Restrained fruit, leesy complexity, and beautiful terroir are all here in this delicious wine. Proprietor Thierry Wafflart took a break from his day job as the leader of the village Champagne cooperative to bottle some wine on his own, and he has created some next level juice. Grower/Producer Champagne can provide tremendous quality and value compared to larger and more well known Champagne house bottlings, so if you're into high quality bubbles at an affordable price you chould check out this and similar bottlings!
