Since its foundation in 1729, Ruinart is the first established House of Champagne and has taken immense pride in the excellence of its cuvées. Every year the Brut and Blanc de Blancs are excellent, but my soft spot is for the electric Champagne Rose.
This astonishing blend of forty to fifty crus combines the freshness of chardonnay with the fruitiness of pinot noir, yielding a versatile and structured rosé, characterized by notes of exotic fruits. It also happens to be the first Champagne Rose ever made in 1764.
It is a blend of both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that have been aged between two and three years. The blend is seamless and tantalizing with no shortage of flavors and aromas. Simplicity and complexity are combined on the palate of this cuvée where freshness is abundant and the wine boasts a ton of structure while still achieving a round, full-bodied mouthfeel.

A gorgeous rosé in a rich, vinous style, this shows a satiny mousse and well-honed acidity, which buoy a detailed range of macerated raspberry fruit, dried apricot, grated ginger, graphite and chopped roasted almond flavors. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2025.

This one comes from one of the most interesting wineries in all of Oregon, home to a crazy one-of-a-kind gravity flow production which has the winemaking team regularly walking up and down three flights of stairs to check on the state of things. Their Pinots are easily some of the best in Oregon, but the Thea’s Selection is the creme de la creme. It’s made from a blend of all seven 100% organic certified estate vineyards, spread across arguably the two best wine AVAs in the state, Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
This champagne is so good, it’s often a staple on the wine lists of Michelin two and three star restaurants. It offers elegant aromatics, pristine fruit and the crisp, mineral finish that screams for food. We loved it so much, we asked Jacques Diebolt to bottle a special cuveé for the restaurant– and he happily agreed, but unfortunately it sold out like hot cakes. No matter, here is old faithful. Just as delicious and memorable as I remember it.
