Beau Vigne Heirloom Brut North Coast NV
Wait...what the heck? BEAU VIGNE makes BUBBLES? Well, yes...and no. Read XTRA fast today, friends, barely enough to go ‘round! One of our go-to Napa red producers for years...that classic under-the-radar gem of a winery that consistently over-delivers quality for value...a handful of 98-100 scores, countless 95+, and some of Napa’s most influential winemakers – Dave Phinney, Kirk Venge, and now, JULIEN FAYARD!
The BEST part? The PRICE!!! Released at $52 – you can still grab a few bottles on the winery’s website and pay WAY more (hey, you do you). But LAST BOTTLE called in a favor – so how does HALF sound?!?! BOOOYEAH! This was A ONE-TIME deal, made in celebration of their 20th anniversary, and if we don’t mind saying so ourselves, this is a wine worth celebrating! Full methode champenoise, grown and sourced from some high-elevation sites throughout the cooler parts of the North Bay (mostly Sonoma and Mendocino) and finished with a light dosage.
Beguiling aromas of pine needles, crushed raspberries, black cherries, with fresh cut hay…welcome to HEAVEN! Heady and perfumed – perfectly ripe Bosc pears, grapefruit pith, more cherries, plus lemon curd, and orange cream round out the palate – culminating in a fruit-driven, plush, and absolutely crushable finish! Perfect popping for any occasion – but if you can snag a double order of Thomas Keller’s famous fried chicken...all the better!
We bought all we could, but it won’t be enough!!! Go, fly, and move with all expediency like your life depended on it! You’re gonna want to hoard this en masse!
"No better way to celebrate this momentous occasion with you, than to release a remarkably singular, small-production sparkling wine! Remarkable purity, soft moussé, and laser-sharp precision. Farmed fruit from cool, high-altitude vineyards, vinified in the Méthode Champenoise and rested on its lees, then disgorged and bottled with a light dosage. There’s complexity, tension, and it's texturally rich—everything one could want from a 'pour-often' sparkling wine. Our tip: Enjoy over 2 hours to experience its full range of dynamic textures and flavors."
