This month our toast will be with a bottle of Victorine de Chastenay Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Rose<\/a>. This was an easy choice since we found it in a favorite wine shop Formaggio South End<\/a>. This shop offers the best of so many food options, including a small but well-curated wine selection.<\/p>\n

This bottle was in the cooler, chilled and ready for an impromptu celebration. It was 100% pinot noir, a favorite with us. It was a pinot noir from Burgundy, one of our favorite sources for this grape. The back label had what we considered a seal of approval, the logo of Skurnik Wines & Spirits<\/a>, an importer we trust! Since this bottle made it through all those selection gateways and was priced at $22.95, we knew it would be a great value.<\/p>\n

Skurnik Wine and Spirits wrote that great value was their reason for importing this wine.<\/h3>\n

"Not all Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne are created equal. We at Skurnik have searched for years for a Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne that can deliver the quality and value that the Skurnik name has come to represent. With Victorine de Chastenay, they have found that rare combination. Long an afterthought for many producers in Burgundy, these delicious sparklers come from fruit in the C\u00f4tes de Nuits and C\u00f4tes De Beaune in Burgundy (a welcome contrast to most Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgognes that are made from fruit in the M\u00e2connais, Beaujolais, and C\u00f4te Chalonnaise). From the complex and refreshing Brut Blanc to the 100% Pinot Noir Brut Ros\u00e9, these wines are made completely in tank to preserve the minerality and freshness of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or fruit and are aged on the lees for 20 months before release (the minimum for the appellation is 12 months!). It is rare to find Cr\u00e9mants of such pedigree and quality at a value price and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to have you try them."<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We purchase our bottle at Formaggio South End for $22.95.<\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes, and produced by different methods adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007 we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n
