The count down to New Year’s Eve
38 Champagnes are nothing to SPIT at!
Toronto's sommeliers test the best in Champagne
Experts brought together for two bubbly tastings

By Michael Vaughan • Weekly Wine & Spirits Columnist
National Post • Saturday, December 23^rd 2000
(Extended Version with SAQ List of 160 Items)

There are tall ones, fat ones, short ones and lean ones. They come in various garbs from très chic to vestment ordinaire. They are all-powerful, because they alone possess knowledge and taste to transform the ordinary to the extraordinary with simply a twist of the wrist.

Yes, it’s the sommelier, that mystical tabernacle of wine wisdom who knows the breadth of the restaurant’s cellar. Internationally-speaking no establishment worthy of a second glance would be without one. Well almost anyway, because here in Toronto our gastronomic roots were not imbedded in fine wine but rather whiskey.

In fact, the sommelier is still quite a rare bird in most of our restaurants. Worse yet, until recently you could find them doing double duty, almost everything from managing to clearing tables! Fortunately, some of our more enlightened establishments have given sommeliers the recognition they deserve.

Historically, the best were French persuasion. Well at least that was true up until the 1980’s when Italian cuisine, its wines and their sommeliers suddenly became fashionable. Today, women have broken through the chauvinistic barriers and have joined the cutting edge of wine selection.

All of this became apparent when I recently decided to seek out a fresh take on critiquing wines. In essence, I wanted to discover what went through the minds of the very people who actually had to buy and sell the stuff I recommend. And so I set out on a new venture.

I called around and instantaneously put together a small band of dedicated professionals from Canada’s leading restaurants. These were people who had successfully passed accredited sommelier programs at considerable personal expense. They included Jamie Kennedy from the ROM, Peter Costello from Accolade, Prego’s Francois Morissette, Romuald Toulon from the Four Seasons, Ruben Elmer from Auberge du Pommier, James Drummond of the Granite Club, David Partridge of Jump, Steve Christian of Reds and Jay Fallah (a British Wine & Spirit Trust Diploma holder completing the Master of Wine program). All in all 14 individuals willing to sit down and spit. And what better a name for this group than SPIT – Sommeliers & Professional Independent Tasters

The objective is a sharing of passion, knowledge and insight for that elixir known as wine. And what wines. Our first tasting consisted of 38 Champagnes plus one pretender to the throne – worth in excess of $3,000. In order to put everyone on equal footing, I designed an easy-to-use Champagne tasting sheet which  transformed numeric systems into a simple descriptive system. The components (nose, mouthfeel, palate/flavour, finish) and the overall quality was broken down into seven possible rankings: Below Average, Average, Above Average, Good, Very Good, Excellent and Outstanding.

In addition, sommeliers are asked to describe the colour, size and intensity of bubbles, acidity/balance and maturity/evolution. Finally, they are asked to describe the style of the Champagne and what would be the ideal food match. There was even a space for the estimated price of the product being tasted (big surprises here).

A total of 5 to 8 wines were tasted in blind flights. The wines in each flight were totally secret. Once a flight tasting was finished, each sommelier one-by-one would discuss the Champagne being tasted without its identity being revealed. My job was to try an tally each round. Once everyone had made their comments, the identity would be revealed. This system worked well but with 14 participants, it’s quite time intensive.

Our round table comparative blind tasting consisted of 7 flights with the first three taking place at the Windsor Arms Hotel, the balance on Sunday morning at Canoe led by master sommelier Dan Volway. If any group has made a commitment to ensuring that every one of their restaurants has a professional sommelier, it’s the Oliver-Bonacini owners.

And the results of seven hours of tastings? Well it was dazzling. Our first flight of five Chardonnay-based Blanc de Blancs Champagnes opened up with a fairly complex, toasty Salon 1985 Cuvée S Champagne at $155 from the Classics Catalogue. While its fairly robust taste didn’t set every palate ablaze, we felt that it would do divinely with freshly poached whitefish. This is a food Champagne and could be compared to a Grand Cru Chablis.

How different it was from the elegant, smooth, fresh, grapefruit-melon flavours of Roederer 1994 Crystal Brut ($189 Vintages Essentials) which I only discovered later had 55% Pinot Noir! Bring on the ceviche chanted one enthralled taster. Even more surprising was the fact that I was not alone actually awarding the extremely well balanced, ripe, lemon blossom tinged Roederer 1994 Blanc de Blancs an ever slightly higher score (although it only costs a measly $58 in the Classics Catalogue) making it a best buy 

Another discovery was Delamotte 1995 Blanc de Blancs fresh from last month’s Vintages release. It had complex, earthy, very faintly sweetish  flavours making it well worth its $48.95 price tag. Perfect with ceviche commented one sommelier! We all nodded.

Then there are the everyday Champagnes for every taste. Fortunately, only one drew gasps from the assembled – the new consignment sparkler Pommery Extra Dry “Pop” which comes in a small blue bottle (4.6 ounces) at $14.03. In the words of one sommelier “it’s obviously made for young imbibers whose accumulation of discretionary income has developed much faster than their taste.” Also disheartening were  the appearance of four cork afflicted Champagnes - not a good thing at these prices.

My winner of the cheap and cheerful set was Piper-Heidsieck Brut with its surprisingly complex, biscuity taste. It’s available on the General List at only $39.90. In terms of group ratings, however, the Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve at $44.95 gave the former a run for the money with what one sommelier described as delicious “buttered scone flavours.” For those with a serious thirst, another well-priced tasty treat is the magnum-sized Deutz NV Brut Classique with its bright, crisp favours (Vintages Holiday Gift section at $99.90). 

Rosé Champagne is one of my favourite libations and for my palate the extraordinary 1989 Veuve Clicquot Trilennium Reserved Cuvée Rosé was without compare. Its sublime toasty nose and creamy, ripe, gentle plum flavours showed lovely persistence. This bubbly has been sitting in the Vintages section since October 1999 and only a few bottles remain. A steal at $85.95, it’s still available for private order via the LCBO and hopefully, Vintages will pick up the gauntlet and order more. Keep in mind that only a miniscule quantity of this 1/3 Chardonnay and 2/3 Pinot Noir bland was produced. It has great creamy mouthfeel and a very low dosage - only .7% residual sugar.

Ditto for it’s twin , the equally stunning 1989 Veuve Clicquot Trilennium Reserved Cuvée Brut (released in September 1999 at $84.90 with only some 100 bottles remaining in Vintages). Here’s a bubbly that’s so good that at least one sommelier rushed the Vintages store to scoop up some bottles for their own cellar. It’s rich, toasty, goût anglaise flavours go one forever in the mouth! The stunning texture has only .6% residual sugar. A triumph in winemaking at a remarkable price.

Moving to the deluxe category, the Krug Grande Cuvée Brut ($149.95 at Vintages) was a favourite with its mouthfilling, exceedingly toasty flavours go one and on. A mini-feature on Remi Krug Champagnes will appear next week. Finally the ever-accessible, elegant, well balanced Moet & Chandon 1993 Cuvée Dom Perignon at $160 is the kind of bubbly that everyone can easily enjoy.

All in all, we discovered some gems. We all know what constitutes good Champagne. Indeed, it was nice to find an exceptional new world sparkler, Argyle 1989 Extended Tirage Brut from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It won high praise from several tasters when positioned beside “the real thing.” Only 1,011 cases of this 60/40 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were produced. It will be available in the New Year from Edwards Wines (416-405-8989) at approximately $55. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder – what appeals to one may not appeal to another. But when it comes to Champagne, when it’s good, it’s very, very good! Merry Christmas.

Books: Two useful soft cover books are available which both worth checking out. I highly recommend the  Millennium Champagne & Sparkling Wine Guide a terrific recently-published large pocket-sized comprehensive compendium by Tom Stevenson with detailed numeric evaluations of bubblies from around the world . You might also want to pick up The Champagne Companion; The Authoritative Connoisseur’s Guide ($19.95) by Michael Edwards  which  went to print two years ago.

LCBO Listings: There are 19 items on the LCBO General List. In addition there were 10 items in the Fall Classics Catalogue, a total of 15 in the twelve Vintages releases this year plus a handful in Vintages Holiday Promotion. As of December 2nd, there were 29 items in the warehouse (most included in the previous list). Thus, I think there are approximately 70 or so Champagnes still available at the LCBO. The trouble is, it is impossible to get any comprehensive list of items available via the LCBO infoline or website. A very scary situation.

SAQ Listings: By contrast, the SAQ offers 160 items easily accessible through their website.  Here is a summary. Let me note in passing, that the SAQ is taking an aggressive marketing plan that (unlike the LCBO) doesn’t rely on being subsidized by the wine agents or their principals. On December 6^th, for instance, for the second year in a row from 4 to 11 pm you would receive a free bottle of Champagne for every $200 spent at the SAQ – your choice of seven brands at around $40 apiece! And if you happen to be in Montreal next week, all gift packages are discounted 40% (again without hitting up the suppliers). Wouldn’t it be great if the LCBO could share some of its largess with its shareholders?
