 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 2/18/2014: Some gentle caramel oxidation is evident on the nose along with aromas of yeast and baked apple. It is full rich and creamy in the mouth with some toast and bulee development and a kiss of lemon like acidity on the finish. Drink up. (4325 views)

Nice mousse long finish.
A very nice wine but a little bit one-dimensional. (4471 views)
 Tasted by Shorepower on 12/1/2012: Det skrevs en del om det här vinet, Mumms bevis på att de kan göra bra viner. Kan väl direkt säga att iallafall den här flaskan var ett bevis på motsatsen. Rätt så mogen doft med den typiska 1999ans gummitoner. Det är inget fel på doften men jag saknar lite av den komplextiten jag hade väntat mig och att en 1999 prestige är så pass mogen förvånar. Moussen är väldigt krämig men vinet saknar struktur. Kan inte exakt sätta fingret på vad det är men tråkigt kommer upp i huvudet. Inte alls vad jag förväntade mig. (4657 views)
 Tasted by Lord of the Bottles on 11/13/2011 & rated 93 points: Tasted at Square Meal/Vinopolis 2011 event. Best champagne at the event. Nose of earth, butter and cream. Long finish of fruit mixed with balance and power. (4609 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 A˙) 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.
