One of life’s great pairings: a bottle of bubbly and, in this case, Drew Smith’s book exalting its counterpart, the oyster. Sip and savor one of the most compelling grower Champagnes being produced right now as you peruse Smith's 'Oyster: A Gastronomic History' or do some shucking of your own with a panouk wood-handled Opinel oyster knife. Just add oysters for a match made in heaven!

FEATURING * R. Pouillon et Fils 'Grande Vallée' Extra-Brut Champagne NV
A Champagne from the fabulous, careful grower Fabrice Pouillon: smoky, floral orchard fruits and redcurrant on the very perfumed nose. On the palate, sappy red fruit and bitter pear skin flavors are joined by a little bit of buttered toast. The finish is very structurd, firm-feeling, and long, with lingering minerality and a touch of bitter quinine. One of the more burly, tense Champagnes we know; it's the signature of Pouillon's wines. Throw it in a Burgundy bowl and have throughout your meal; this isn't a Champagne you should start the night with!
