| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.4 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 97 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 5/24/2023 & rated 86 points: Again, bread-y and a bit heavy, it is too chardonnay and not in a good way. I would expect better balance and liveliness from this producer. (783 views) | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 4/9/2023 & rated 87 points: This bottle was dominated by yeasty flavours, shadowing the apples and pears I was expecting. Overall, a nice balance between acidity, perlage and intensity of flavours. Would probably give this label another try, hoping for a bottle with greater focus and clarity.

이마트장터 2.5 (1044 views) | | | Tasted by tsailor on 5/1/2022 & rated 79 points: Crisp pear/apple notes (1054 views) | | | Tasted by WineSNOBRonk on 11/12/2021: Nose: a bit of yeast.
Taste: cream, yellow cake, vanilla, minerality. Flattens out as it warms up.
3.5 (1400 views) | | | Tasted by penguinoid on 5/23/2020 & rated 88 points: Colour: medium straw
Nose: strawberry, raspberry; beurre bosc pear, apricot, lemon. Waxy, honeyed, nougat. Pineapple?
Palate: strawberry, raspberry; beurre bosc pear, lemon, pineapple. Russet apples. Waxy, honeyed, nougat. Quite rich, but with linear, brisk acidity. Crunchy and fresh, but with some richness. Quite oxidative, I guess. Lots of persistent bead, overflowing when first opened. Maybe not as complex as some (bearing in mind that I'm an infrequent drinker of sparkling wines), but very nice. 12% alcohol. Seal: cork capsule.
DAY 2: left open overnight (& not properly sealed), now at (winter) room temperature (ie about 15°C). Still has some bead left, just. Rich, oxidative flavours are accentuated, eg mandarin, lemon marmalade, fleshy lemon, pineapple, russet apples, lemon curd. Still very nice, actually. Lovely, rich, oxidative style, run through with a lithe, persistent acidity. (2569 views) | | | Tasted by wino_tim on 2/19/2020 & rated 87 points: Medium straw with reflections of yellow. Very simple and straightforward but not without charm, on the nose this offers fresh and clean aromas of green apple, lemon, white cherry, chervil, bread dough and toast. On the palate this is medium bodied with medium to medium+ acidity and a noticeable but not obtrusive dosage driving richer fruit flavors of yellow plum and toast. Tasty enough. (1999 views) | | | Tasted by Somm David T on 12/13/2019 & rated 89 points: I don’t remember buying this or if it was a gift. However, I have ignored it for sometime. Hazards of loving Champange...especially, Rosé.
This is not really our style as it falls into more oxidation than we like. But, still enjoyable.
The nose reveals, bruised green-golden apple & Bosc pear, some apple cider, sour pineapple, lemon chiffon, white citrus blend, bread dough, baguette crust, nougat, sea spray, crumbled chalkiness, grey volcanic minerals, withering, yellow lilies and spring flowers.
The body & mouthfeel are nice. Bruised green-golden apple & Bosc pear, some apple cider, sour pineapple, lemon chiffon & poppy cake, cream, butter notes, white citrus blend, bread dough, warm toast, nougat with nuts, brown sugar spice w/ a little palate heat, vanillin notes, touch of butterscotch & caramel, sea spray, crumbled chalkiness, grey volcanic minerals, withering, yellow lilies and spring flowers. The acidity is good just not as lively as I like. The finish is rich, polished, well balanced and quite nice, just not outstanding.
Producer notes; In 1840, Jean Febvre, a barrel cooper from Montbard, founded the winery that is now Maison Simonnet-Febvre. It was exclusively specialized in the making of sparkling wines using the so-called “Traditional Method”.
Maison Simonnet-Febvre owns vineyards in Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru “Mont de Milieu” and Chablis Grand Cru “Les Preuses”. It produces and vinifies a large range of different wines from the diverse “terroirs” of the Chablis region.
Maison Simonnet-Febvre was purchased by Maison Louis Latour in 2003. (2350 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 12/7/2019 & rated 87 points: Several Tastings today! (Minneapolis, MN): Tart with apple, kiwi, spice and minerals. Not bad. (2375 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Kane on 5/1/2019: side L Latour project. Lemony, fresh, little dough or autolysis notes. Short quick palate, fresh and zippy. (2097 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/1/2019: Still family owned, they produce from all regions of Burgundy. 60% chardonnay and 40% Pinot noir. The only producing Crement in Chablis. Part domaine and part negociant. Crisp and fruity and easy going, with some RS on the back ground. Grapes sourced only from Chablis. (1452 views) | | | Tasted by retired_and_roving on 10/17/2018 & rated 85 points: Maison Louis Latour Tasting with Louis-Fabrice Latour (Capital Grille, NYC): Nose of toast and golden apple. Bubbles are quite fine and not very assertive. Tastes of golden toast, honey with apples, medium acidity and a hint of bitterness like lemon or grapefruit pith. The bitterness on the back palate keeps me from enjoying this more. (1906 views) | | | Tasted by wineotim on 8/11/2018 & rated 88 points: Quite nice, medium gold, bright fresh apple and citrus notes. Good bubble action. Served at the Pappas party. (2199 views) | | | Tasted by StasMedvedev.lv on 5/21/2017 & rated 86 points: Revisiting this Cremant de Bourgogne from Simonnet-Febvre that is based in Chablis and belongs to Louis Latour. Very approachable at €12 price tag. Medium nose of stewed apples. Palate with noticeable bitterness of citrus zest with slight minerality. Dosage 7g/l, but for my taste it is not very well integrated due to medium acidity.
Young 20 yrs old vines. Traditional method. Ageing 24 months on lees.
Increased my previous rating by 1 point. (2912 views) | | | Tasted by lkilpio on 3/6/2017 & rated 86 points: This would be a nice wine for a summer picnic or during sunbathing at the swimming pool. It is not any serious companion for food or an alternative for Champagne, though. The structure of the wine is firm, and the bubbles are lively. The taste is fruity, but a bit too sweet, though, and it is lacking depth and distinction of flavors. (2847 views) | | | Tasted by taylorwfu on 1/1/2017 & rated 88 points: Good everyday drinker with pork and friends. (2993 views) | | | Tasted by rustyRudy on 12/30/2016 & rated 89 points: Tasting pour. Some nice toast and complexity, reasonably good QPR (2749 views) | | | Tasted by SiR on 9/5/2015 & rated 87 points: 11.8% - Clear, pale lemon, thin bubbles / clean, med to low intensity - apple, nectarine, bread dough / dry, med acidity, light body, bubbles converging into a delicate mousse and pleasant creamy texture, med intensity, med- length. (3997 views) | | | Tasted by nickhayw on 6/24/2015 & rated 84 points: Clear, bright, pale straw. Medium sized beads, dissipating slowly. Nose is bready, yeasty, with crisp apples and pears and some muted minerality. Palate is subtly off-dry with medium minus acidity and medium body. Good texture and weight. Palate largely confirms the nose although this wine has a slightly unpleasant bitterness, like citrus pith, that mars the otherwise solid finish. More dough and lees influence on the palate. Wine is uncomplicated quaffer, do not look here for complexity. Drink now. (3027 views) | | | Tasted by The years of the grape on 6/1/2015 & rated 86 points: A honest sparkler, not very fragrant though it opens up after some time showing a delicate yeasty character. Stony-like minerality, lime, green apple aromas are also there.
Good bubbles, not too aggressive, crisy acidity with medium body.
Not incredibly complex, but can be pleasant especially if well chilled. (2954 views) | | | Tasted by Headless on 11/9/2014 & rated 88 points: Basically sparkling chablis, very delicious. (3715 views) | | | Tasted by legarejm on 8/15/2014 & rated 87 points: Good QP. Smooth, develops well after opening. Well balanced but not much complexity. Perfect with oysters.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
