TN: Paul Berthelot Reserve NV Champagne-Dizy

This was a very nice drink for the price, lots of acidity and bursting with fresh, crispness. Not bad at $31…any other recs on this price point for NV Champagne?

Thanks Ki. Where did you pick this up at?

Two others I like at that price are
NV Rare Wine Co. BdB Les Mesnil
NV Pierre Moncuit-Delos BdB Brut

Figures, here in Boston it’s $50 .

If you can find the Berthelot so cheap, see if you can find Camille Saves NV.

WineX usually carries that one. The Rose is $60. Pricey for a NV but it’s damn nice and I’m not normally a rose fan when it comes to Champagne.

Found this at Woodland Hills Wine Co pre-holiday for 31.99…

Cris: want to try the Rare Wine Co Le mesnil -good value?

I’ve enjoyed it. Won’t knock your socks off but definitely good quality for the money. I noticed tonight as a matter of fact at WineX that it is sporting a new label also.

Roederer. Depending on what part of the country you are in depends on pricing of the various bottles.

NV Anderson
L’Ermitage
Brut Premier

are the 3 that have a chance of being your price point. Here they are $13, $45, $45 respectively. I’ve seen them cheaper elsewhere.
