The estate’s 2005 Brut Rose Sable Premier Cru Nicolas Francois Aubry is too young to fully appreciate. It is a decidedly more ethereal wine than powerful NV. Everything is about subtlety, as layers of perfumed silky mirabelle plums, cherries, flowers and chalk spin out effortlessly from a long, exceptionally polished frame. This is a somewhat fleeting, beguiling Champagne of breathtaking beauty. The blend consists of 20% Chardonnay (fermented in oak), 20% Petit Meslier, 15% Arbanne, plus Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and is done in the house’s low atmosphere style. This is Lot LSRM. Disgorged January, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. Aubry doesn’t seem to get much attention in hard-core Champagne circles, but make no mistake about it; these are some of the most unique wines being made in the region today. It is hard to go wrong with any of these fine new releases. Readers should note that the Sable Le Nombre d’Or wines are bottled with a liqueur de tirage that contains about 16 grams of sugar, instead of the more customary 24 or so, which results in a lower pressure Champagne. The lower pressure style yields wines with very fine and small bubbles, not to mention tons of class.A Terry Theise Selection, imported by Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
