<h1>étoile Brut, sur lees 2003 -- Domaine Chandon Shopping Cart</h1> étoile Brut, elegance and grace personified ACCOLADES 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast, December 2009 PHILOSOPHY French for star— étoile embodies our commitment to crafting the finest sparkling wine in America. The winemaking team has carte blanche in creating this wine. They have absolute freedom to break from all traditional limitations and commonly accepted rules in sparkling winemaking. This philosophy is now also visibly represented by the use of a crown seal. This unconventional closure symbolizes our commitment to providing the best sparkling wine to our consumers. For example, we impose no appellation requirement and allow the winemaking team to source from the very best vineyards in any given vintage. With no vintage requirements, we have the freedom to blend the current vintage with the perfect complement of library, or reserve wines, to build layers of depth and complexity. This is the concept of sur lees dating. And finally, we subscribe to no predetermined varietal blend or style; we simply reflect the best style the vineyards have to offer. TASTING NOTES Tiny bubbles elevate a complex bouquet of ripe pear, toasted brioche and apple compote. Lemon custard flavors caress the palate followed by notes of baked apple crisp and roasted hazelnuts. The elegant structure persists throughout the long, savory finish. FOOD & WINE PAIRING Pair étoile Brut with delicate, sweet or even aromatic flavors. Enjoy it with seafood dishes like grilled scallops prepared with a lemon beurre blanc, or on its own before the start of a meal.
