90 points & Smart Buy ~ Wine Spectator
Wonderful aromas of green apple and citrus with mineral notes make for a delightful start to this traditional sparkler. The Brut NV offers bright, crisp acidity complimented by a touch of yeast on the delightfully long finish. A classic house style!
Brut NV was the first wine released in 1989. As the predominant grape used in Champagne, “We wanted our first sparkling wine to express the finesse of Chardonnay”- Laurent Gruet. More than twenty years later, the Brut NV remains Gruet’s flagship sparkling wine for both quality and price.
Gruet Blanc de Noirs NV
French for “white of black”, Blanc de Noirs describes a sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, by pressing them gently and running the pale juice over the skins.
Pale Salmon in color, the Blanc de Noirs has aromas of berry and pear, complimented by a rich, round mouth feel on the palate. It finishes with a layer of cream and pleasant, warm toastiness. Incredibly versatile with all styles of food!
Gruet Sauvage Rosé NV
Wild. Raw. Savage. Untamed since 1989. Gruet Sauvage Rosé is for the sparkling connoisseur who appreciates bone dry acidity.
With zero dosage, Sauvage Rosé’s vibrant fruit flavors of wild strawberry and hint of cherry really shine on the nose and palate and are complemented by bright acidity.
Vineyard Notes
Founded in 1984, Gruet Winery specializes in Methode Champenoise sparkling wines. Family owned and run, the New Mexico-based winery produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based sparkling wines and a small collection of still wines, with roots originating from Gilbert Gruet’s Champagne house in Bethon, France.

I have 1 bottle. It appears to have been offered here in April of 2018. I found a Caselegger? Matelegger? to get it from, since it doesn’t ship to OH.
@jwNC I think the “expected date” on the detail page is auto-generated and “pads” the value by a couple of weeks. In most cases my stuff has shown up much sooner – but again, with the holidays I think everything is YMMV.
@Winedavid49 Cool, thanks for the information! We can’t wait to try to the Sauvage rosé. If I had an IH mixed case on my Christmas list, what would the chances of me having my Christmas wishes fulfilled?
@klezman@pmarin As I know it to be, not that I follow closely, the only New Mexico wine is the still pinot meunier rose and everything else is American, well, North American…
Yes, yes, I, too, am in just for the rosé Sauvage. Not that the other two are slouches, but when I got the Gruet mix before, I really wanted a great rosé in there… the blanc de noirs is really more of a vin gris, right? It has a hint of color, and a little more fruit as I recall than the brut.

Well who doesn’t need some good bubbly to end this year and start the New Year! In for a split with Mr. Chris.
Cheers! And a safe, well, happy, healthy and strong New Year to all!
This is becoming an annual tradition. I showed restraint and only got 6 rather than the full case this time. Hopefully I won’t regret it (in either possible direction).
@ecanada I had a $20 for the driver ready and everything lol. I was looking forward to the Rose Sauvage especially this time, I’ve bought the Gruet case maybe 5x in the past because it’s such a hit in my house!
Had 50 oysters delivered yesterday I was waiting on this to pair!
@ecanada sorry to hear that! Mine arrived today and gifted two other wines to my loyal wine deliverer from UPS. Hope they can find a way to make you whole, or a fellow casemates can assist.
This isn’t meant as a loud complaint, more a comment - opened a Sauvage rose from this deal tonight and it’s corked. Wet newspaper smell and taste, so down the drain…unfortunate as I was looking forward to trying it. Three others to try, so put one in to cool down and will open it relatively soon with hopefully better results! Had one each of the other two from this offer already and they were both great.
@Winedavid49 Second bottle of Sauvage was fine, no issues. The “bad” bottle was a close call - almost gave it to our housekeeper as a New Years Eve present, but she took a Sterling from the other offer here instead…it would have been the “bad” bottle of Sauvage that she took. Whew!
Wish I had gone for the full case. Loved the half case. It was perfect for Christmas and NYE! The blanc was my favorite and the sauvage was a close second! Would ABSOLUTELY buy again!

How much more are you saving by buying a full case?
(Note: Tax & Shipping not included in savings calculations)
Gruet Mixed Sparkling - $10 = 6.65%
@cynthylee
Are you interested in splitting a case?
If by chance you like rosé, my preference would be the Brut and the Blanc de Noirs.
Nice, a new bottle in the mix
Sauvage Rosé
unless I missed this from an older offer…
@rjquillin
I don’t think we’ve seen it offered here yet. I do have one or two, but I must have ordered it directly.
@rjquillin First I’ve seen it.
@kawichris650
I think @chipgreen may have some as well.

Not a hard decision. Curious to taste the Rose.

Autobuy for me!
Any chance shipping to IN can be added?
This was the deal I’ve been waiting for, to round out the year. Very cool to see the Rosé., I can’t wait to try it.

Waiting for this one!

One issue… the main page says this will arrive by New Years. The top o’ this page says expected date is Jan. 4. Crossing my fingers for the former.
@jwNC I think the “expected date” on the detail page is auto-generated and “pads” the value by a couple of weeks. In most cases my stuff has shown up much sooner – but again, with the holidays I think everything is YMMV.
@jwNC @pmarin the expected date is auto generated.
These will arrive well before new years.

@Winedavid49 Does “well before New Year’s” mean by 12/27? Heading out of town that day and want to bring these with.
/giphy overcast-jingling-fruitcake
I can’t turn down Gruet! And am excited to try the rosé!
/giphy brisk-toasty-sash
Are these all “American” AVA or any of them more specific than that?
@klezman “North American”
@klezman @pmarin As I know it to be, not that I follow closely, the only New Mexico wine is the still pinot meunier rose and everything else is American, well, North American…
I don’t know why I am even waiting to order.

@bunnymasseuse I hope at 7:47am xmas eve my 46lbs of wine wasn’t the straw that broke some poor USPS employees back!

@ecanada So sorry this did not get there in time. shoot me a whisper with you email address.
thanks.
These arrived on xmas eve with plenty of time to chill a bottle of the Blanc de Noirs for present opening with the family later in the evening.
I’m devestated that I didnt go for the full case of this. Best bubbles I’ve ever had, I venture…

@CObrent let me know how the 2nd one is. Please keep in touch.

Had the Sauvage to bring in the new year, impressed quite a few fans.
Wish I had gone for the full case. Loved the half case. It was perfect for Christmas and NYE! The blanc was my favorite and the sauvage was a close second! Would ABSOLUTELY buy again!
My replacement case just arrived! Thanks team Casemates!
@Brandon (@Mercatalyst) thanks for the help!
