Les Sentiers Premier Cru Half Bottle

$42

Domaine des Arondes’ flagship cuvée, Les Sentiers is a pinot-noir dominant blend of all three major grape varieties, and it accounts for about 70 percent of the estate’s total production. It features 50 percent reserve wine (made with only juice from the first pressing) started by her father for Champagne Laurent-Gabriel in 1996. Marie-Marjorie named this cuvée “les sentiers” (French for “the paths”) in honor of elements of nature that have paved its way.

See: Pale daffodil yellow with fine bubbles and a creamy mousse

Smell: Sun-baked steel, expressed citrus rind and damp tea leaves

Taste: Fresh and elegant with notes of flint, lemon zest, red fruit and minerality. Complex tension and rich in the midpalate from 84 months aging in the cellar, followed by a long, smooth finish.

Pair: Pair it with deviled eggs with a pinch of smoked paprika and chopped chervil. You could also serve it solo on the back porch before a pink-sky sunset. 

Celebrate: It’s been one whole year with Monty, the Monstera Deliciosa you received from your mother-in-law as a wee cutting. Your plant baby found his light, and you have mastered the art of when to give him water. Cheers your newly acquired green thumb and Monty’s  freshly unfurling leaves.

    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.
