		<description><![CDATA[This month we stick close to home, never leaving France.  We begin with a light-hearted sparkler from Beaujolais, don&#8217;t laugh, it&#8217;s really good!  Then two excellent, Grand Cru Champagnes from small producers.  One made from mostly Pinot Noir form the Grand Cru of Aÿ, and the other all Chardonnay from the underrated Grand Cru of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The difference between Méthode Champenoise and Méthode Ancienne is that while Chapenoise wines (virtually all quality sparkling wines in the world) are made using two separate fermentations, one for alcoholic fermentation, and a second (started by adding sugar) for the bubbles which takes place in the bottle, the Ancienne Method involves letting the wine begin to ferment, then throwing it in the bottles and sealing it for good, hoping that it keeps going and doesn't explode!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gatinois is one of the few remaining houses that still owns a plot planted with the traditional clone of the region, Petit Pinot d'Aÿ. Walking in the vineyard, the clonal differences are apparent and shocking. Next to the younger vines, Gatinois's petit pinot vines look like dwarfs: they are roughly half as tall as their younger counterparts]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Brut Spéciale is a non-vintage blanc de blancs (this cuvée is a blend of the 2004 and 2005 vintages, disgorged in 2008).   The flavors are at once intensely fruity, and delightfully minerally, with elegance and class to spare.]]></description>
