| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 137 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AllRed on 11/17/2023: Finishing up the remnants of last night’s bottle. A bit more straightforward today with red apple and blanched almond notes. Flavors of pear and toasted brioche. (390 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 11/17/2023 & rated 90 points: Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (Eagle Brook CC): 2009 base, disgorged September 2013 at 5g/L, 60% pinor noir and 40% chardonnay. Lovely mature golden color with a medium mousse. Red apple, marshmallow and wet dough notes. Short bead, with apple and vanilla pastry cream flavors. Showing very well at this stage. (461 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 12/30/2022 & rated 94 points: Retail $45. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. I bought four bottles of this wine from Cinderella.com, Wine Library's (of Gary Vaynerchuck fame) flash site way back in early 2014. Amazingly, perhaps, this is only the third bottle consumed in those nearly nine years. I have to say that I am glad I waited as this has developed into that "older champagne" kind of vibe that I love so much. Straw, almost yellow in the glass with wonderful citrus, golden delicious apple, and a whole bunch of yeasty yumminess on the nose. Whoa. The palate is initially fruity, but that autolytic aspect takes over almost immediately and it is wonderful. Yeasty, tart, fruity, all elements are there in spades and the finish is lengthy and spectacular.

While this is not my favorite producer in Champagne with the name "Paillard" attached to it, it is a Grand Cru from my favorite town in the region, Bouzy. It has been an amazing four years since I last opened a bottle of this wine, but it is doing quite well, thank you very much. Bright green apple with some white peach as well, buoyed by some fresh biscuity notes on the nose. The palate is balanced with that fruit, the yeasty goodness, and an intense tartness. Really close to a Whoa. Really close.

(2102 views) | | | Tasted by Sulfur16 on 5/23/2020: Didn’t like this. Bubbles very sparse (2229 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 1/1/2019 & rated 89 points: Fine, deep, rich - the extra dryness evident only at the end (782 views) | | | Tasted by Uncle John on 10/3/2018 & rated 91 points: Nice development from four years ago. Blend of 60% Pinot and 40% Chard. Disgorged 09-2013. I would almost give this 92 it was so impressive for a NV. (3432 views) | | | Tasted by Bro on 7/9/2018 & rated 91 points: Avons dégusté ce vin à la pendaison de crémaillère à Ian et Lucie 🎉🎈🤡 (3928 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 6/29/2018 & rated 90 points: De bien belles bulles, vif et droit,
c`est bien précis.

long et vineux, excellent. (3471 views) | | | Tasted by The Klipper on 11/23/2017: Insanely good to be based on 2011. Wow. (4537 views) | | | Tasted by ucbeau on 11/17/2017: Tasted multiple times over the course of about two hours. Gorgeous stuff. Rich, textured, yet also balanced and full of minerally goodness. Lots of citrus zest along with crunchy red fruit. Crazy good QPR. (4214 views) | | | Tasted by asparagus on 10/21/2017 & rated 89 points: Very sharp and shrill when first opened. Placed a stopper on it and popped it back in the fridge. Two days later - much better. It was more harmonious - rich fruit paired with good acidity. Last 750ml from a 3 pack purchased in mid -2013. Probably the 2009/2010 base?
Though this was good, previous bottles showed much better. (3165 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 8/5/2017 & rated 92 points: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. I tried to stop by this winery when I was in Bouzy this week, but alas, they would not see me without an appointment. Next time I will have to think ahead as this was a fabulous bottle from my favorite town in Champagne. Brioche, roasted almonds, and a touch of citrus. Wow. I am sucker for Bouzy and while this could use some cellar time, this is really fantastic. thedrunkencyclist.com (3459 views) | | | Tasted by Bakerbd on 7/28/2017 & rated 92 points: Half bottle with some age... autolytic, brioche, hazelnut, apple pie (3502 views) | | | Tasted by rmalloy on 6/6/2017 & rated 91 points: Excellent. Driven by apple and citrus and less by autolysis than many NV champagnes. The result is fresh and vibrant. I like biscuity champagnes too, but I find they tend to taste alike.
Tasted at FT33, Dallas. (2812 views) | | | Tasted by winetastingnote on 5/6/2017 & rated 92 points: Tasty; more mature than the nv bonville, restrained fruit, lemon curd and white peach, easy to drink. (2787 views) | | | Tasted by HL Pong on 4/8/2017 & rated 90 points: Appearance: clear, golden yellow, fine bubbles
On nose: medium+ intensity, citrus: lemon, stone fruit: apple, biscuits with a hint of bread. Very pleasant, elegant but not very complex. The wine is still developing.
On palate, dry, medium+ flavour intensity, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, bubbles are fine on palate, medium body. All aroma could be found on palate with bitterness flavour. Medium finishing. Just like a man, standing firm on stage, not very charm but you will respect him because of his dignity.
This is a good wine as a Grand cru champagne in this price range($290 HKD). Keep one in your cellar whenever you got a party with leasure. This wine can be drunk now and not too much improvement for aging. (2683 views) | | | Tasted by Bakerbd on 3/21/2017 & rated 91 points: Marked NV on the label but 2010 on the cork... this has some bottle age - med gold, baked apple and pear, brioche, autolytic (2073 views) | | | Tasted by ChristyLeighNY on 2/26/2017: Great value. Ripe apples on the nose and a hint of saline, slightly toasty and citrus on the palate. Medium bodied (2019 views) | | | Tasted by HungryMother on 2/12/2017 & rated 90 points: Really accessible;crisp, Fuji apple mid-palate; toasty but balanced. Popped and poured. Was worried about being too early in the drinking window, but this was great. (1977 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 1/19/2017 & rated 91 points: Great nonvintage Brut for the price (about $40). Aromas of saline, chalk, seashell, with apples and lemons. Crisp and clean and tart and lively with salty almonds and chalk on top of green melon and limes. Pretty elements of nuts and honey. Brisk style but nice depth. (1769 views) | | | Tasted by TC16 on 12/31/2016 & rated 90 points: Lemony, bread, fine bubbles. Nice. (1803 views) | | | Tasted by Bro on 12/13/2016 & rated 91 points: Lors d'un brunch chez Line et Robert ... (1962 views) | | | Tasted by chefdilletante on 11/17/2016: Good symmetry.

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. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
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.Champagne Grand CruChampagne |
