Non-Vintage by Mumm from Champagne, France - regions. A long aging provides additional flavors of vanilla, roasted nuts and a hint of toast. A result of the carefully chosen infusion of terroir and reserve wines, the finish is long. Imparting to the finish is lightness from Chardonnay, fruitiness from Pinot Noir and roundness provided by Pinot Meunier. A toasty version, rich and creamy, with vanilla, hazelnut and citrus notes weaving through the rich texture...-Wine Spectator

Non-Vintage by Piper Heidsieck from Champagne, France - regions. Piper-Heidsieck cuvee Brut combines 50 rigorously selected growths.

Very accessible and full of warmth and personality, with fine length. -Wine Spectator

Non-Vintage by Veuve Clicquot from Champagne, France - regions. The Champagne produced today by Veuve Clicquot still lives up to the high standards set by Madame Clicquot, a young widow (veuve in French) who took over her late husbands estate at the beginning of the 19th century. It was Madame Clicquot who developed the important riddling procedure for Champagne--a way to remove dead yeast cells from bottles.

Non-Vintage by Henriot from Champagne, France - regions. A beautiful gold colour. The bubbles are persistent, fine and regular. The nose is pleasant, made very elegant by the large amount of Chardonnay. The Brut Souverain is sharp, well balanced and harmonious on the palate. There is just a suggestion of color.... It's very sensuous, and the wine bursts immediately into a complex play of scents. Dusty pollen, fresh-cut flowers and sweet fruits mingle invitingly, leading you into flavors of pomegranate, cranberry and spice. Big and polished, this sensual feast of a wine delivers an extra dimension of flavor, power and length. ~ The Wine Enthusiast

Non-Vintage by Marquis de la Tour from Loire, France - regions. Opens with a bouquet of apple cider. A nice mousse, crispness, and an apple, bready, creamy palate with nuances of citrus and nuts and a bit of astringency leads to a finish which is broader than long. There's a lot of freshly baked bread aromas in this delightful bubbly, along with peach pie and even apricot. This is an intense wine, dry and scouring and the crisp tartness follows through on the finish.
