MARIE COPINET BLANC DE BLANCS ALEXANDRINE, CHAMPAGNE NV  $44.99

93 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE   ORGANIC AND VEGAN!

THIS IS AN "RM" CHAMPAGNE, AKA GROWER CHAMPAGNE.  SMALL FAMILY OPERATION THAT GROWS THE GRAPES AND PRODUCES THE WINE. VERY RARE FOR CHAMPAGNE.  ONLY ABOUT 5% OF GROWER CHAMPAGNE MAKES IT INTO THE USA. THIS IS A VIBRANT WINE WITH FRESH LEMON AND STONE FRUIT. CRISP WITH MINERALITY.  ELEGANT WITH FINESSE.  ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHAMPAGNES IN THE SHOP AND AT A GREAT PRICE FOR GROWER CHAMPAGNE. SAVE YOURSELF $15 BY BUYING THIS CHAMPAGNE INSTEAD OF THE MORE FAMOUS VEUVE ONE. THIS ONE IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS BETTER!
