Laherte Les 7 Champagne

Quick: Name the grapes used to make Champagne!
You probably can get at least two. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. You might even get a third: Pinot Meunier. Good work! Now name the other four.
Wait. What?!?
The Les 7 blend is unusual in two respects. First, it’s a solera dating to the first harvest of these young vines in 2005. Secondly, the vines in question represent a field-blend consisting of all SEVEN grapes allowed in the making Champagne. This Champagne is named Les 7 for that reason.
The grapes used are as follows: 18% Chardonnay, 18% Meunier, 17% Pinot Blanc, 15% Petit Meslier, 14% Pinot Noir, 10% Fromenteau (a.k.a. Pinot Gris), and 8% Arbanne.

Oddero Moscato D`Asti
$34.99
Oderro is one of the oldest and most respected producers in Piedmont, famous for their exceptional and long-lived Barolos. They also produce Moscato d'Asti, a sweet, fizzy low-alcohol (5%) wine that is perfect with brunch or any other occasion that calls for something fizzy and delicious. It is pale yellow in colour with a fragrant and aromatic bouquet along with light notes of mandarin, grapefruit, white peach, flowers and sage. It's refreshing, sweet and aromatic on the palate. This wine pairs well with the desserts in the best Italian tradition. We recommend it for more daring pairings and more intense flavours: certain cheeses that are not overly seasoned, salami and figs, or as an aperitif. Some venture as far as grilled prawns. In the olden days, a typical Italian snack was bread, tuma cheese (made with sheep's milk) and Moscato. Who are we to argue?
A KWM exclusive.
