The 2004 Brut Le Nombre d'Or Campanae Veteres Vites is a blend of all of the grapes found in Champagne; 25% Fromenteau and Pinot Blanc, 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Petit Meslier, 15% Arbanne, 5% Pinot Meunier and 5% Chardonnay. This is another gorgeous wine graced with exquisite elegance. An expressive, well-delineated bouquet leads to a crystalline fruit in this superbly crafted Champagne. The Veteres Vites gains volume and breath on the mid-palate but never loses its essential minerality and focus. My sense is that the wine is still holding back quite a bit in reserve. It should be even more fabulous in a few years’ time. Disgorged September, 2010 and bottled with 3 grams of dosage. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. 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
