Pierre Morlet Champagne<br />
After four generations, Champagne Pierre Morlet et Fils has become<br />
synonymous in France for authentic and handcrafted Champagnes.<br />
Now, wine connoisseurs around the world are discovering the unique harmony<br />
of Pierre Morlet Champagne.<br />
N/V Grande Reserve_________________________ 39.99<br />
74% Pinot Noir 26% Chardonnay<br />
The Grande Réserve blend is modeled after the classic<br />
base of the Cuvée Suivie, also representing all of the<br />
Morlet family’s terroirs of Premiers Crus Avenay-Vald’Or,<br />
Bisseuil and Mutigny and of Grand Cru Aÿ.<br />
Partially fermented in French oak “Demi-Muids” barrels<br />
– a rarity in Champagne – the Grande Réserve also aged<br />
one additional year in the deep caves. More mature flavors and aromas characterized<br />
the Grande Réserve which has built the Pierre Morlet reputation.<br />
N/V Grande Reserve Rosé______________________ 44.99<br />
100% Pinot Noir<br />
Obtained by the “Saigneé” technique, the “Rosé Grande Réserve”<br />
is exclusively comprised of Pinot Noir. Its intense yet delicate<br />
bouquet is dominantly fruity (raspberry, wild strawberries, blackberries)<br />
intermixed with notes of limestone and hazelnut. Fullbodied<br />
and elegant, “Rosé Grande Réserve” displays flavors of<br />
fresh raspberries and pomegranate and a long finish with mineral<br />
notes and a hint of Kirsch. This Rosé Champagne will age gracefully<br />
for a decade.<br />
2002 Millesime____________________________ 54.99<br />
60% Pinot Noir 40% Chardonnay<br />
The Morlet family only selects the best years to produce<br />
their vintage Champagnes. Each of them<br />
is the result of a judicious blend made<br />
out of some of the different family’s<br />
terroirs and representing the characteristics<br />
of a particular year. Therefore the<br />
proportions of both varietals as well as<br />
of the <strong>vineyard</strong> parcels can vary from one vintage to another.<br />
Each Pierre Morlet Champagne Millesime reflects the originality<br />
that nature gave us in an exceptional year.<br />
With a great ageing potential, vintage Champagnes represents<br />
the ‘Nec plus Ultra’ of the Morlet’s terroirs, expertise<br />
and passion. They are the ultimate choice of the finest<br />
wine connoisseurs.<br />

“Each of these cuvées is produced in very small quantities so readers will want to act<br />
quickly and get on Grand Rêves mailing list.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
Founded in 2004 by entrepeneur Paul McBride and <strong>vineyard</strong> manager Ryan<br />
Johnson, Grand Reve introduces a new collaborative approach to winemaking in<br />
Washington State. Ryan Johnson has been growing wine grapes on Red Mountain<br />
for 11 vintages and is the <strong>vineyard</strong> manager for Ciel du Cheval, Cadence Cara Mia,<br />
Quilceda Galitzine Estate, and DeLille Grand Ciel <strong>vineyard</strong>s, all located within<br />
Washington’s famed Red Mountain AVA.<br />
By utilizing several of Washington State’s most accomplished winemakers: each with<br />
prowess in different winemaking styles, combined with their finest cultivated fruit,<br />
they achieve world-class quality across multiple varietals. This effort is called the<br />
Grand Rêve Collaboration Series, and its all-star cast includes Ben Smith<br />
(Collaboration I), Ross Mickel (Collaboration II), Mark McNeilly (Collaboratin III),<br />
Carolyn Lakewold (Collaboration IV), Chris Gorman (Collaboration V), and James<br />
Mantone (Collaboration VI).<br />
“We intend to show how uncompromising attention to detail, progressive viticulture<br />
practices, deep experience, care and passion in the <strong>vineyard</strong> can yield profound wines<br />
of finesse, balance and character,” explains Johnson.<br />

2009<br />
Delas Freres<br />
Cotes du Rhone Saint Esprit<br />
“T<br />
he brilliant 2009 Cotes du Rhone St.-Esprit<br />
is the best Cotes du Rhone I have ever<br />
tasted from Delas. Seventy percent Syrah, twenty percent<br />
Grenache and the rest Carignan and Mourvedre, this wine comes<br />
primarily form the Cotes du Rhone village of Cairanne.<br />
The wine has great fruit and a sweet raspberry and black<br />
cherry nose with some herbs, licorice, and pepper. Aged<br />
all in tank, the wine is medium to full-bodied and possesses<br />
sweet tannin as well as a long finish.” Rated 90/100,<br />
