| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 62 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by canan on 10/1/2022 & rated 93 points: 50th Birthday Tasting (Vesterbro): Starting to show a lot of age but still with the characteristic acidity push in the aftertaste. Lovely wine (744 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 2/26/2022: Weekend at Bernie's; 2/25/2022-2/27/2022 (Vero Beach): Stunning. Contender of the top champagne and really of one of the top wines of the weekend. It's not really showing much age yet but it is super interesting. There's layers and layers. Mostly that kindof spicy notes which I don't think of in a BdB but which this had in spades. Elegant. Not sure in the long run this doesn't beat out the '80 DP but for this moment in time the extra 19 years prevailed for me. (1431 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 12/31/2020: Around the fire. More Honeycomb than the 96. Real cold from the snow. Still holding strong. I’d give it another 5 years, but tops now. (1359 views) | | | Tasted by Wine_Poobah on 10/31/2020 & rated 99 points: Baked apple, lemon, cotton candy, honeysuckle, and yeast aromas. Ripe green apple, strawberry, and coconut flavors with tons of minerality and chalkiness. Extremely complex tertiary aromas and flavors. Fantastic, racy acidity that carries the wine. Rich and dense with a super smooth texture and extremely fine bubbles.
You could age this for a few more years, but not sure why you would — it’s really fantastic now. (1422 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 3/10/2019 & rated 90 points: From magnum it was fresh and airy, ethereal, like a spring wind. Initially it had some vegetable and cucumber notes, but they morph into white fruits and some bready notes. What I didn't like was - it lacked the depth on the palate, probably the result of not so good a vintage. Elegant overall, but not a showstopper. (1927 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 12/28/2018 & rated 97 points: Sadly my last bottle of the '99 Peters, and the best it's ever been. Most of the flavor features I noted in my last bottle last year are still here, but the fruit has thickened even more to the point where you could call it luscious and golden, while still holding on to plenty of racy energy. It has a dazzling array of flavors and aromatic sensations beginning with that sumptuous and stock-dense fruit, segueing to cereal grains and coriander-like spices, and finishing with a vividly slate-like and metallic minerality. This was always an interesting wine but age has enriched it to a bona fide Salon-like experience. I didn't expect that it still had more upside to go from last year, but it's gotta be at absolute peak now - Champagne doesn't get much better at any age. (3801 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 11/5/2017 & rated 94 points: Maybe the best vintage of Chetillons (then called Cuvee Speciale) for drinking right now. I even preferred it to the '96 from a few weeks back. Expressive aromatics of flint, metal grindings, and toasted wheat. A layered palate: first comes the lemony fruit on the front end, then toasty cereal. There's more toastiness on the finish which also features something starting to hint at nuts. This is probably drinking at its peak now unless you are waiting for it to taste affirmatively old. But right now, it offers a lot of personality with fruit that's still bright and lush. (5621 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 1/22/2017 & rated 92 points: SCCM Conference; 1/21/2017-1/25/2017 (Honolulu, HI): Golden color; nice slight oxidation and excellent white fruit with a bit of apple; palate is balanced, medium-plus acid, drinking well now and I would not age further as it has some mature character already. A pleasure to try this tonight! 92 (3090 views) | | | Tasted by Tree512 on 11/7/2015 & rated 94 points: Finally ready to go. A big and full Champagne with lots of roasted nuts on top and a base of strong fruit. (3558 views) | | | Tasted by Yapdiver on 6/6/2014 & rated 95 points: The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like a little apple, a little flowery, alcohol and bread. It tastes like a hint of bread and is slightly sparkling. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity. (4535 views) | | | Tasted by Yapdiver on 11/1/2013 & rated 90 points: The wine looks Light gold colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like a hint of Apple. It tastes like Oak, a hint of alcohol and Butterscotch. The body is Light. The wine has Smooth texture and is very creamy. The wine finishes Short. (4768 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 3/12/2013: Had an almost bretty meatiness to its aroma. There were biscuit and bread notes coupled with citrus fruits. It was rich and creamy with good line and intensity. (4893 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 2/27/2013: This is pretty darn incredible champagne. And still in its absolute youth. Rich and brioche mid palate but clean and precise, and then a very high toned and wild white flower aroma up front. Amazing length on the finish. (4401 views) | | | Tasted by markjanes on 1/7/2013 & rated 90 points: This botte drank more like the first TN I wrote... minerally, focused, no malo, no oak, moderate at best autolysis... lacks a bit of depth IMO but for its style is excellent. (3442 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 7/5/2012: A great bottle of Champagne here. Really benefited from air, it showed impressive depth, definition and focus. Subtle nuttiness, strong mineral spine, yeasty with lively bubbles. Light buttery notes, not showing a particular fruit but maybe a hint of lemon and orchard fruits. Somehow powerful but balanced thanks to this great minerality and decent acidity.
Only the finish is a little short but this Champagne will surely improve. Really loved it ! (2739 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 3/11/2012: Waterford Staff Party 2.0 (Waterford Wine Co., Milwaukee): What a treat!! Reaffirming why this is one of my favorites. What was once an in your face-ness of brown lees notes, (ie marmite, etc), is now really into a salty and mineral tunnel. Absolutely, KAPOW! on the palate. (3980 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/11/2012: Aged and wonderful. (2405 views) | | | Tasted by KC Bloodlines on 2/12/2012: This was great. Very yeasty, almost cheesy aromatics with some freshly baked bread, apple pie, ginger and stone fruits. (3232 views) | | | Tasted by Employee500 on 12/31/2011 & rated 93 points: Wow, from magnum this is fantastic. My prior bottles (750s) were lean and sullen, and it may be that I drnak them far too young (almost 5 years ago), but now this is a beautful champagne... (2472 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 9/22/2011: Lemon curd and sugar cookie. Really edgy right now. Starting to get a little honied, but great edge. Like LemonDrop candy on my tongue. Outstanding tonight. (2545 views) | | | Tasted by markjanes on 8/29/2011 & rated 88 points: Was not quite as impressed this go around... wine felt a bit softer to me with a little less grand cru firmness... this bottle seemed more at its peak to me having lost a bit of verve. (2535 views) | | | Tasted by canan on 6/16/2011 & rated 92 points: BYO (My House): Kind of funky nose with chicken broth, coffee grinds, seaweed, sea water and sulfur (gun powder).
A solid palate with both green and red apples with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Still quite fresh palate but the fruit is somewhat compact and dense. (1712 views) | | | Tasted by ktrh on 6/5/2011 & rated 89 points: Extremely nice nose. In the mouth excellent precision, acidity, concentration and superb minerality. However, it was surprisingly short. (not a faulty bottle) (2626 views) | | | Tasted by Sotto325 on 12/31/2010 & rated 92 points: In magnum at perfect drinking. Elegant and very well balanced. On the dry side for chardonnay but this is the best PP I have had. In 750 it will not be drinking as well. Medium bubbles, not too toasty but nice viscosity and well balanced acid (2966 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 11/18/2010 & rated 90 points: Lemon and vanilla, brioche and earth. Nicely refreshing palate, medium bodied. (3002 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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.Champagne Grand CruChampagne |
