| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 10/14/2022: Wow, over 5 years since my last btl? This was stunning, and notes from day 2 open. A harmonious blend of sweet red apple, a touch of cranberry, nutty notes, honeyed density and a lovely blend of lift and richness. On the palate: excellent acidity, dark red apple, wet stone, a hint of cranberry and grapefruit pith. Excellent density, soft mousse and a long finish. Still excellent on Day 2. (403 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 8/5/2017: One of the most complex champagnes of the night showing very differently after a few hours open. Lost the red apple it shows at first to show more brioche and loads of mint and spice. Great acidity and very good finish. (888 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 12/31/2016: Golden yellow in color. Great nose with loads of red apple, a touch of roasted nuts, meyer lemon, very bright; brioche in the background and just a soft touch. On the palate, vibrant acidity, keeping things very bright; a touch of cranberry and loads of apples. Fine bead, and very delicate effervescence adding great lift. Paired well with raw hamachi with red pepper ponzu. (864 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 5/10/2016 & rated 91 points: Mature Rioja (The Medlar, London): Pale straw. Quite fresh with a touch of rounding that accentuates with air. Initially feels quite Chardonnay rich, though it opens and rounds in the glass. Served blind this feels like 02 or possibly a fuller 04. Surprisingly approachable for Lanson. Works nicely as an aperitif but could carry in to food. **** (1477 views) | | | Tasted by Tairroirist on 3/26/2015 & rated 85 points: grapy, stemmy, acidic, not sure about storage seems tired, herbal, anise, spicy (1219 views) | | | Tasted by BillyT on 10/12/2014 & rated 91 points: Just sat and enjoyed listening to Vivaldi so no notes other than nice vintage expressing age, texture, full mouth feel, brioche and citrus flavors. Very nice. Sometimes I just have to sit back relax and enjoy the forest beyond the trees. (1070 views) | | | Tasted by Patrick - winereviewer.com.au on 2/27/2013 & rated 94 points: A golden yellow in colour, with brioche, savoury peach and a slight hint of blue cheese complexity on the nose.
The wine has an incredibly fine bead, with citrus stained peach integrating with the more leesy, rich brioche characters on the palate.
The acidity is wonderfully precise and clean, tapering the rich mid to back palate.
A well priced vintage champagne.

Bright toasty flavours, plenty of yeast influence; a touch cheesy in its flavours; seems very chardonnay dominant. Medium bodied, with plenty of acid still, it has medium-sized bubbles and a medium length finish. Good, if not quite to the standard I recall of the 1999 and 1996. (1757 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 |
