Celebrate The Holidays With These Dazzling Sparkling Wines

December 10, 2020

I drink sparkling wine year-round, but there is something about the effervescence of bubbles that make the holiday season more festive and fun. When it comes to toasting a happy and healthy New Year, bubbles are a must! There is nothing more festive than the pop of a cork on a bottle of bubbly.

This year we all will be celebrating the end of 2020.  What an unprecedented year it has been. Typically this time of year we are preparing for large holiday gatherings, family feasts, Christmas galas and New Year’s Eve parties. Even though we might not be rejoicing in large groups, we all will be celebrating in our own special ways.

There is a wonderful spectrum of sparkling wines from around the globe, including France, Spain, Germany, Italy, USA, Chile, Argentina, and even from down under in Tasmania.  Whether you’re looking for a gift or the perfect wine to pair with your holiday meal, there is a perfect sparkling wine for you. Look no further, this list of sparkling wines is all you need for a bubbly and festive holiday season.

Bruno Paillard Champagne Rosé Premiere Cuvée $70.00

A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing. The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while aging. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. The palate reveals red fruit captured at their full freshness. The finish is bright and long. A very special Champagne for celebrations and gift-giving.

Henri Champliau Brut Authentique Cremant de Bourgogne Brut $28.00

Henri Champliau is a family-owned sparkling wine producer in Mercurey, located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. The company was founded by Alexandre Graffard in 2016, who named the winery after his grandfather, who held a deep admiration for the terroir and craftsmanship of Burgundy. The aroma and flavor of Brut Authentique is driven by Pinot Noir, which brings strength and complexity to the cuvée, while Chardonnay provides freshness and precision. Fifteen months of aging sur lies contribute richness and texture to this high-quality example of Crémant de Bourgogne.

Domaine Bousquet Brut Rosé $14.00

The delightful bubbly comes from the Domaine’s vineyards in Tupungato, Alto Gualtallary. By the foothills of the Andes at 4000 ft. altitude, the vineyards enjoy a marked thermal amplitude.  There is a rich salmon color with delicate bubbles in the glass. There are fresh red fruit aromas with citric notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh with medium acidity and a fruity finish.  A sparkling wine that is elegant, crisp and easy to drink.

Cote Mas Crémant de Limoux Brut $15.00

From southern France, innovation and a passion for the Languedoc are what drives Jean-Claude Mas. An intense and refined nose of honey, acacia and crystallized lemon lead way to a harmonious palate of citrus fruits and balanced acidity. An excellent aperitif that pairs well with all styles of cuisine.

Valdo Cuvee 1926 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG $20.00

Valdo is the oldest winery of Prosecco in Valdobbiadene, founded in 1926.  Ripe apple, pear, peach along with tropical fruits such as banana and pineapple are accented by floral notes. A well-balanced, pleasant, and harmonious palate with a medium body and a long, persistent finish.

Nino Franco Faìve Rosè Brut $30.00

“Faìve”, from the Venetian dialect meaning “sparks.” When farmers burn the wood from pruning, the direction the sparks fly is said to forecast the result of the harvest. This Faìve wine is made using a bleeding wine from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, making the wine very special and different. Rose petal-like pink in color, this wine offers aromas of small red fruits, as well as mineral and floral notes. On the palate, it is pleasurably fresh with soft tannins and persistent bubbles. A delightful bubbly from the famous Prosecco house, Nino Franco.

Fitz Riesling Extra Trocken Sekt $22

Fitz is a very special German sparkling wine.  This Sekt is crisp and dry while bursting with the fruitiness of ripe Riesling. Combines the bread dough and honey notes of bottle fermentation with floral, red berry and spice flavors. It is incredibly well-balanced and harmonious.

Well-balanced acidity with refreshing notes of red berries and grapefruit with elegant fine bubbles.  Prosecco Rosé is finally here and sure to be a hit at any holiday celebration.

Los Dos Brut Rose Cava $13.00

Los Dos, which means “the two” or “both” in Spanish, celebrates the intricate steps in the dance of winemaking, from the vine and soil to the winemaker who carefully hand harvests the grapes to produce this classic Cava from family vineyards in the renowned D.O. Penedés. This Brut Rosé displays brisk acidity with a touch of floral notes on the nose and ripe red berry flavors on the palate. Impress your guests with this delicious bubbly!

Inauguration Day calls for @charlesheidsieckchampa Inauguration Day calls for @charlesheidsieckchampagne 

Cheers to new beginnings. 🍾🇺🇸🥂🍾🇺🇸🥂

Charlie’s style of Champagne is elegant and indulgent.  The wines are complex and balanced, and there is great care given to every detail of the Champagne making process from the vineyards to the cellar.  Many of the wines are put away and patiently held for their reserve wines.  Their Brut reserve wine has a large portion of reserve wines (up to 40%) with an average of 10 years of aging, making the wines of Charles Heidsieck exception and of the highest quality.
