YEARS’ BEST CHAMPAGNE; This blend includes 50 percent pinot noir, 10 percent meunier and 40 percent chardonnay, aged seven years on the lees. That time on the lees comes across in yeasty flavors, before cool, brisk fruit emerges, melding into creamy, broad flavors. It’s a solidly built 2007, suited to roast fish in a beurre blanc. – J.G.
