 Tasted by jerry6 on 1/1/2012 & rated 88 points: very good , bubbles never end . Right up there with Tatinger Comtes de Champagnes , Sorry but this was Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D'or 1998 , not the Brut (2644 views)
 Tasted by Tarstmartin on 2/12/2011 & rated 74 points: In our champagne tasting of five different bottles this finished last. In fact, we have the rest of the bottle sitting uncorked for cooking wine now. Never buy again. Our winners were 1) Argyle, 2) tattinger 3) Perrier Jouet and 4) Piper Heidseick. Buy the Perrier instead, it,s $10 less and the best value of the group

 Tasted by pmk on 11/6/2009 & rated 91 points: Wonder ful choice - not too dry -- hint of sweetness to balance things, long finsih, nice small bbbles, drank even better as it warmed slightly. memorable for a brut because of its balance. (2966 views)
 Tasted by pmk on 12/23/2008 & rated 93 points: Wonderful champagne with complexity and long finish. Opens with fruit like favor of apples ad then pear. Underlying citrus note and the palate finishes dry with just the right amount of acidity. Bubbles remain throughout, but small and sparkling. A real winner with the taste, structure and complexity of a great white burgandy. (3059 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.
