Åpner med et solid "pop", veldig fin mousse. Kraftig både på nese og smak, lett toastet preg, ristede nøtter, modne røde epler. Topp moden nå. En vellykket 2003 etter min oppfatning. (1623 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 3/1/2016 & rated 87 points: Overripe fruit, prunes and fruit compote. Uber intense nose of rye bread and sweet cherries. Hot vintage presents itself here with aplomb. (2461 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 11/24/2015 & rated 88 points: 1981&1982: Characterisic grower champagne with a high content of Meunier (think red apples and heavy, autolitic nose of rye bread). Lush palate expansive, gastronomic, not for the faint of heart. The hot year shows as it feels borderline overripe. Don't expect it to be elegant, but wait for the power. (3305 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 3/8/2015 & rated 90 points: Lots of Champagne: Flowery, aromatic. Lots of caramel, bubbly fino jerez, lovely oxidative notes, bold on the palate. (3682 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 1/4/2015 & rated 89 points: Modne gule epler, autolyse, gulfrukt, søtbakst på duft.
Flott nese.
Relativt fyldig vin med god konsentrasjon.
Noe rustikk men har friskhet til å takle det.
Moden på smak også, hint av honning i en lang finish. (2877 views) | | | Tasted by Christoffer S on 10/22/2014: Korken går med tydelig popp. Gul. Røde epler og gjær på nese. I munnen røde modne søte epler. Noe nøtter. Små flotte bobler. Flott lengde. Boblene dør relativt raskt i glasset. Noe alkohol. Kraftig og smaksrik (1562 views) | | | Tasted by LWI on 3/1/2014 & rated 89 points: A Portnight (Fem Bord, Trondheim): Blind. Tiny bubbles; some maturity, slightly oxidative, yellow apples, some nuts; long and intense, more fresh in the mouth than the nose suggested, lots of mousse, bitter finish. (2512 views) | | | Tasted by EndreS on 3/1/2014: Vintage Port (Fem Bord, Trondheim): Mealy, yellow apples. Slight hint of nuts and pastry. Some oxidative notes.
Fresh and bubbly, but the fruit is a bit "soggy", which makes the acid pronounced. Better on the nose. Seemed to develop quickly in the glass, and not for the better.
Maybe slightly over the hill? (2291 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 1/25/2014 & rated 92 points: 4th Saturday Annual Champagne Event (Sue & Mike's): 67% Meunier. Richly fruited with caramel, brioche and berry notes adding complexity. Good bead and acidity with a balanced finish. (1820 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 |
