Un R d'autrefois Extra Brut
See: Lemon-yellow with light green reflections and a delicate, active mousse
Smell: Honey, citrus and fresh-churned butter, plus summer strawberry thanks to the presence of pinot noir
Taste: A beautiful balance of acid and fruit with a faint kiss of sherry. Low dosage lets the grapes shine and leads to a distinctly dry finish.
Pair: These bubbles shine on their own, but for a next-level, very French experience, pair them with a freshly baked baguette smeared with sweet butter, sliced breakfast radish and a flurry of Maldon salt.
Celebrate: Read it and weep: “Snoozers.” Triple letter on the “z.” You also nailed both a double and triple word, and you used all your letters. Points totalling 287 makes you this week’s winner of Words With Friends!

Do I have to be a club member to shop bottles?
No way José. All are welcome to purchase any of our delicious bubbles online or in person at the fatcork cave.
-
What do I do if my Champagne is corked?
Damp, wet cardboard? That’s not on the tasting note! Cork taint is the worst, but all fatcork Champagnes use natural cork closures, so it does happen on the rare occasion. Please let us know, and will happily replace the bottle. Before you throw it away, snap a photo of the back label and we can refer to the code for reference. Email it to info@fatcork.com along with the order number.
-
Can I return or exchange my bottles?
We aim to please. Call or email us, so we can talk about what happened and how we can make things right.
