basically agree with the other review from 2014.
Upon opening some short associations of orange zest but immediately disappears. Then yeast and apples dominate entirely. It actually seems to oscillate between yeast and apple. Personally, I thought it would give a bit more flavours but this one is entirely about creaminess (quite thick) and amazing texture and fine bubbles. Medium + body still acidity going strong. For 4 1/2 years lees age but long cellaring I expected a more mild character. But Gossets fruit quality and purity is pretty impressive. You can feel the age but at the same time its still energetic and strong acidity.
Curious to buy one more and see how it goes for a few more years. (243 views) | | Tasted by aquacongas on 7/29/2014 & rated 91 points: yeast, bread crust, hazelnut, creamy,Brioche, fine Perlage, little citrus, nice acidity, middle long finish, complexity (1409 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.

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 |
