| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rnellans on 7/22/2015: Apples with touch of brioche. Clean, bright. Good bubbles. (2250 views) | | | Tasted by hackey37 on 2/19/2014 & rated 92 points: The bubbles are numerous, tiny, and streaming in seeming perpetuity from bottom to top. It is frothy on the pour and the color is clear and straw gold. The smells are honey, hazelnut, butter, flowers, and yeasty aromas. The tastes are apple, pear, lime, ginger, honey, butterscotch, toast, with light shades of salinity. The mouth feel is creamy, weighty and the acidity is zingy. The finish is lengthy and the bubbles seem to sizzle on the palate. This wine is hedonistic and offers great value. (2666 views) | | | Tasted by hackey37 on 1/26/2014 & rated 91 points: Light gold color throughout with good clarity and density. The aromas are honey, floral notes, nutty notes, butter, bread, ginger, and pear. The tastes are ginger, honeysuckle, pear, with some citrus fruit. The finish is lengthy, the body is full, and their is salinity in the nice round finish. I have had several bottles of this and this is my current "go-to" value Champagne. It is a bit hedonistic! (2164 views) | | | Tasted by boodra on 9/21/2012 & rated 91 points: Brilliant. Golden color, toasty and crisp. Delicate (2450 views) | | | Tasted by boodra on 12/6/2011 & rated 90 points: Still great stuff and a good value - my new house Champagne (2429 views) | | | Tasted by boodra on 10/17/2011 & rated 90 points: Very elegant. Golden honeyed fruit. Fine mousse. A little bread and yeast but not much. Finishes somewhat sweet (859 views) |

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
