The NV Brut Premier Cru is a joyous, delicious wine laced with perfumed, fragrant pears, jasmine and white peaches. It shows gorgeous inner fragrance and beautifully articulated refined mousse. This fresh, mid-weight Champagne is ideal for drinking over the next few years. It is a terrific effort at the NV level. The Premier Cru is 50% Pinot Meunier, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, 60% 2007 and 40% the prior year’s blend from the villages of Jouy, Pargny and Villedommange, bottled with 6 grams of dosage. This is Lot LBSA, disgorged June, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015. 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
