Special "Oops" Pricing on Sensational French Sparkling Wine!
We recently picked up a VERY special deal on a pallet of sparkling wine from Château de la Roche Bousseau. Our sample bottle was so pure, so vibrant, so delicious and... so familiar. When asked how it tasted, our Mike Baker said...
"It is awesome. Reminds me a lot of the Domaine de la Petite Roche Brut NV."
Hmmm. Made using the traditional techniques of Champagne, the hugely charismatic, hugely popular Petite Roche is our top-selling sparkler under $20. And for good reason, as it massively overdelivers on its price.
A bit of sleuthing and we discovered why these two wines taste so similar. It turns out that the Château de la Roche Bousseau and the Domaine de la Petite Roche are the exact same wine!
The cases of Château de la Roche Bousseau Brut NV we offer you today were specially labeled at the winery for a large chain on the East Coast. Wires were crossed, however, and the intended buyer did not take the wine. Needing a home for this now-orphaned sparkler, the importer offered it to us at crazy price. Today, we pass the savings on to you!
If you're a fan of the Petite Roche, you've probably already decided to grab a case. If you're only an occasional bubbly drinker, you'll want to think hard about clicking right now on the Big Green Button to get six bottles. This stuff is delicious, it is beyond priced right, and it will move fast!

Château de la Roche Bousseau Saumur Brut NV
Loire Valley, France
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the very same wine as our top selling bottles of Domaine de la Petite Roche. Simply awesome!
Crafted using the same processes as Champagne, this mineral-focused blend of 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Chardonnay excites us with impressive orchard, citrus, mineral and subtle baked bread flavors. Offering a fine and taut bubbly mousse, it offers the kind of refinement, class and delicacy that you expect from Champagne. At the $17.99 price it wears with the 'regular' label, this is already the best sparkling value in the store.
Thanks to the East Coast miscue, we're able to make the deal on our best Loire Valley Sparkling wine even better!
Perfect for parties, great with fried chicken, and a superb complement to all sorts of spicy Asian cuisine, the uses for this wine are practically without limit. At $15.99, the value here is just ridiculous.
When they reviewed the La Petite Roche two years ago, Wine Enthusiast quotes a price of $24. That's a full 50% higher than the price we have today!

Delightful Loire Valley Cabernet Franc for Fifteen Bucks!
2021 Domaine Les Pins "Cuvée Les Rochettes" Bourgueil
Loire Valley, France
~~~~~~~~~~~
We've got one more Loire Valley steal for you today! This modern style Cabernet Franc from Domaine Les Pins is one of the best value reds in the entire Loire Valley. Medium deep ruby in color, it explodes from the glass, with taut aromas of black fruits, green pepper, white rock and tobacco wrapper. In the mouth, this easy-to-drink red is silky soft with a classic Loire Valley spine.
“This wine is young and structured, with complex tannins and vibrant black fruits. Its juicy character has density from the tannins that will soften. Drink the wine from 2024.”
- 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast (3/1/2023)
Fun by itself and even better with chicken fajitas or grilled brats, this the kind of red that will always work at the dinner table. As with Wine Enthusiast, we are a strong 90 points. Wine Enthusiast quotes $20. At 26% less, our price beats each of the three other online listings!
