| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 7/17/2021 & rated 93 points: Light green-tinged yellow color with abundant, steady, tiny bubbles; appealing, savory, green apple, croissant, yeasty nose; delicious, textured, green apple, dried apple, yeasty palate with good balancing acidity; medium-plus finish (623 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 12/17/2019 & rated 87 points: I am not so sure that I like this Champagne. It is kind of reductive on the palate and not so refreshing. This indicates to me that it maybe getting past its prime drinking window. Too bad because I do like this producer’s other champagnes.

Rum tart, bold, massive and very good champagne (847 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 12/30/2018 & rated 89 points: So I had a much better experience with this bottle than the last one which must have been a bad bottle. This one had nice citrus fruit, good acidity and minerality. It just needed a little more complexity for it to earn a better score. (744 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 8/16/2018: I am disappointed with this bottle as the acidity is too prominent. Also, the fruit reminds me of lemons past their prime. I am hopeful that this is just an off bottle, so I am not going to provide a rating on this one. (861 views) | | | Tasted by lolo66 on 5/2/2017: Some residual sugar balanced well with nice uplifting acidity. This was very nice and would seek out again. (1652 views) | | | Tasted by MJHDC on 2/21/2014: I believe the dosage on this bottling is either 8 or 10 g/l, and to me it had a hint of sweetness on the finish, although I've been drinking a fair amount of low/no-dosage. As a 2004, it has good acidity, and was intensely aromatic. (2179 views) | | | Tasted by Korolev_mv on 1/1/2014 & rated 94 points: Пока лучшее шампанское, что мне доводилось пробовать.
Ничего лишнего! (1982 views) | | | Tasted by hfindlay on 12/31/2012 & rated 95 points: Almost freakish, it's so powerful. My brother in law said it's like cognac, which I get, not just because of the orangey flavors and the woody notes, but because of the sheer sinus-clearing intensity of this Champagne. Huge! It's like somebody found a dial on the bottle and turned it up to "max." Also: lemon, toast, loads of creamy, yeasty, vanilla notes - all wrapped up in a curtain of fresh bubbles. This may be the best Champagne I have ever tasted. (2651 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 4/24/2012 & rated 92 points: High-toned, medium weight crisp and classic Champagne (2676 views) | | | Tasted by ChiefNose on 3/9/2012 & rated 93 points: I'm always a bit weary giving high ratings to Champagnes, but this little beauty deserves a few points. It must have been designed to be served as a starter; fine small bobbles, nice citrus flavour and a very pleasant sweetness - not overdosed with sugar. Should go with lobster and scallops too.

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. |
