One of life’s great pairings: a bottle of Champagne 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, André Clouet's Grand Cru 'Brut Nature Silver,' as you peruse Smith's 'Oyster: A Gastronomic History' or do some shucking of your own with a panouk wood-handled Opinel oyster knife and a kitchen town from Lithuania. Just add oysters for a match made in heaven!

FEATURING * André Clouet Grand Cru 'Brut Nature Silver' Champagne NV
Andre Clouet's Silver Label Champagne is entirely Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, mostly from the 2010 vintage — so this Champagne has a lot of age and complexity to it already. While this cuvée has no dosage (added sugar), it was aged in a former Sauternes barrel, then bottle aged for longer than the standard; both add additional richness. Notes of brioche and cream with buttered pastry, citrus, and a lightly oxidized apple note. Fleshy, fancy stuff—Champagne in petticoats.
