| Community Tasting Notes | | Tasted by the.wine.doctor on 8/1/2014 & rated 99 points: This was en magnum, but an ullage 11cm from the base of the cork. Source was an old Parisian cellar where the wines had lay undisturbed since the 1950's or earlier. The wine looks yellow gold colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. No bubbles, but for tasting it was given the "kiss of life" with a NV. It smells like almond, mineral, butterscotch, diacetyl (butter), honey and sherry; a slight hint of maderisation. It tastes like mineral, honey and butterscotch with dried apricots. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes very long with a satisfying mouth filling flavour. The wine has high acidity. This is the epitome of great champagne; how can I go back to NV now :( (4690 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.

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 |
