Mod Sélection Réserve Brut Champagne
Mod Sélection Réserve Brut Champagne is the Champagne born of the Drake × Brent Hocking collaboration — a Pinot Meunier-led brut (55% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir) produced in the Vallée de la Marne by a fifth-generation Champagne house operating since 1892, and aged 3–4 years on the lees. This is a real grower-style Champagne, not a celebrity label slapped on bulk wine: extended lees aging gives it depth and texture well beyond its price peers, in the brand's signature trunk-style packaging. The 750mL bottle (12% ABV per current retail sources — confirm on bottle) belongs on the table for celebrations that deserve better than ordinary bubbly. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Drake's Champagne, Made Like It Matters
Mod Sélection comes from a genuine Champagne house — fifth generation, working the Vallée de la Marne since 1892 — through Brent Hocking's collaboration with Drake. The Réserve Brut leads with Pinot Meunier, the Vallée de la Marne's signature grape, which brings orchard-fruit richness that Chardonnay-led bruts don't have. Three to four years on the lees (well past the 15-month legal minimum) builds the brioche and texture that mark serious Champagne.

Tasting Notes
Orchard fruit — apple, pear — with citrus lift from the Chardonnay and a Pinot Meunier-driven richness through the middle. Fine, persistent bead; brioche and almond notes from the extended lees aging; a clean, dry brut finish.
How to Enjoy
Chilled to 45–50°F in white wine glasses (not flutes) to catch the aromatics. Made for toasts, but it has the structure to carry through a whole dinner — try it with fried chicken or sushi.
