You simply have to have some Champagne to celebrate the new year. Now that big cities in China may ban firecrackers all together due to pollution, the pop of Champagne corks may be just as festive. My recommendation is Jacquesson Cuvée 739, a Champagne House product with the spirit of a grower Champagne. The wine is made with 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir and 22% Pinot Meunier, with 31% being reserve wine. Fresh and clean, elegant and complex; the sharp acidity is just exhilarating. It’s a reminder of a refreshed new year: Live well, work hard, and drink good wines.
