| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jlgnml on 11/3/2022 & rated 95 points: Darker color, significant age which both of us love, solid bubbles, meaning lots of structure. Aged Clos des Goisses is for the gods in our opinion. Buy/drink or hold. (572 views) | | | Tasted by aquacongas on 10/14/2018 & rated 92 points: The best 88 Champagnes from 1988 Part 3/3 Prestige Cuvees from Magnum (L'assiette champenois): Magnum, not blind
A touch overripe, missing length and concentration, minimal fruit and tertiary aromas. The demi Magnum 3 month ago was much fresher and denser. For me no TCA. 92 (2450 views) | | | Tasted by aquacongas on 7/21/2018 & rated 97 points: Perfekt bottle with great filling and unbeliavable perlage. You could think the Coca Cola factory has freshly filled the bubbles into the wine. This I didn't expect. Fascinating balance between typical aged champagne notes (brioche, almonds, dried apricot and fig, white chocolate and nougat) and lime, but the freshness is still dominating. Looking forward for the Magnum in October. 97 (1895 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 10/18/2014 & rated 92 points: A lighter style than the 1989, marked by a pervasive nuttiness. Enjoyable and uncomplicated. (2967 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 9/30/2013 & rated 94 points: Rupert's Bosconia (The Medlar, London): Light gold with a touch of bronze. Lovely. Rich, smooth. Lovely line av focus, a touch oxidative on the mid-palate in a complexity-adding way. Very long and fine. Gentle spice towards the front end. A touch of toasted nut and cream. Just lovely. ****1/2 (4191 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 9/30/2013 & rated 92 points: Just a touch of oxidation on the nose, a citrus streak, fresh and fine (3867 views) | | | Tasted by Atreyu on 11/11/2012 & rated 96 points: Weightless, mineral, fresh. White fruit and some flower. Did not improve with air and was less concentrated than 89 and 78 served next to it. (3640 views) | | | Tasted by NNV on 2/16/2012 & rated 94 points: Distinctively showing age with a medium gold color. Light nose of toffee and caramel. Maintained its freshness on the attack, surprisingly so. Secondary and tertiary notes coming through. Really special and enjoyed this very much. Unfortunately it was the last bottle. (3658 views) | | | Tasted by St Paul on 12/27/2010 & rated 91 points: Disapointing. Love this vintage but this is not as good as it should be (2999 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 |
