Loved it (372 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 9/16/2023 & rated 92 points: RM-26680-1; L0720. Assuming that this was disgorged on July 2020. Note is after the wine had been opened for 1.5h. Nice mildly yeasty/brioche aromas with apples and minerals. Palate was just nice with loads of minerals, followed by emon, tart apples, more minerals and some herbs. Medium body with outstanding acids, and excellent concentration. Strikes a nice balance - dry but not austere. Nice lingering finish. This is nice now but I suspect that there's more complexity to come with some age. 92+ (352 views) | | | Tasted by THECORKDORK on 2/23/2023 & rated 90 points: Total steal of a value right here. Delicious entry level. Red apple and wild ginger. (556 views) | | | Tasted by bestdamncab on 11/10/2022 & rated 86 points: Flatiron Wine & spirits (San Francisco, Ca.): Pinot Meunier dominated the nose and taste tonight, nose of citrus and earth, same on the palate, medium body, tasty, simple, medium finish, $65. (934 views) | | | Tasted by dekevain on 10/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Rather full flavored champagne. I got the half bottles as I was the only one drinking champagne, and very happy I did. Bread, yeast, pears and lemon zest on the nose. Very golden in color, a nice hue to look at. Definitely pinot-heavy and I like it. (595 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 |
