Mission Codename The Man with the Golden Noirs
$25 Grand Cru Champagne??!!
What’s the world coming to? Anyone doubt we need MORE Champagne in 2022 and 2023?
Well, here we go, a Wine Spies exclusive - until it sells out, and oh it so will.
Made under the auspices of “No.1 Champagne expert in the world” Richard Juhlin, originally for the Swedish market, Guldkula means ‘golden bullet’ and a figure like Juhlin appropriately nailed this mission in ONE-SHOT. They somehow could not sell these out fast enough there, so we got what we got, which is not much, but hopefully enough for you to stock up.
For these ‘designer cuvées’ Juhlin commissioned influential houses such as Burtin, de Venoge, R&L Legras, but mostly Mailly, who focuses on nothing but Grand Cru fruit. There are 3 total GEMS along with the Premier Cru feature today! This Blanc de Noirs is 100% Pinot Noir and 100% Grand Cru, a benchmark example of its style disgorged a few years ago so showing at peak today. Whatever you pick, check out fast.
The best part? Near infinite pairing potential here, be it a fruit custard, a decadent triple cream cheese, or bold ethnic fare. The sky is the limit, and you really don’t have to even worry about what you paid!!
Richard Juhlin, the creative genius behind this stunner of a lineup, wrote the book on Champagne. Literally, and not just one! He also happens to have received the highest award from the French government for being an ambassador for Champagne, as a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.
Now you do yourself the honor and scoop up all you can - and us a favor before we guzzle it all!
