CAILLEZ LEMAIRE 'Eclats'

Caillez Lemaire 'Éclats' Extra Brut is a stunningly structured, deep grower Champagne from Damery that pairs old-school wood vinification with an incredibly long cellar nap.

Why we love it: This wine strikes an unbelievable balance between rich, toasty maturity and absolute freshness. The wood fermentation and immense time on the lees give it a deeply vinous, complex nose filled with baked red apples, toasted almonds, cookie dough, and a light touch of wood smoke.

The vibe: A cozy, rainy night indoors with fried chicken and fries.
