($47): André Clouet, a small grower located in Bouzy, a village prized for its Pinot Noir, makes this extraordinary non-vintage Champagne exclusively from that grape.  Combine six years of aging on the lees with that grape produces this wonderfully powerful Champagne.  Despite its muscle, there’s startling finesse and refinement that balances the nutty yeasty flavors.  A fine thread of acidity pulls it all together.  Sure, you can celebrate with it, but you could also serve it with poached salmon at brunch.
