| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Uvebrant on 5/2/2021 & rated 92 points: Dark straw colour, still sparkling, taste of Madeira (893 views) | | | Tasted by Sundbyberg on 9/8/2019 & rated 91 points: Not a lot of complexity, but surprisingly fresh and almost like apple pie. The bubbles are still there but disappears almost instantly. (1612 views) | | | Tasted by Trydebull on 2/23/2019 & rated 87 points: Doften är härligt tobakig, mogna genomutvecklade lätt söta äpplen åt gul-röda hållet - med tid även den typiska Meunier-indikatorn blåbär.
Verkligt fyllig i smaken, lätt-lätt Sherryton, cola, röda mogna äpplen, mogen men substans, dammig, tätt oxidativa toner
87 - men drick typ nu. (1538 views) | | | Tasted by Lnetzel on 8/26/2018: I'm not an experianced champagne drinker but when I got a chance to buy a bottle from my birth year in 2017 I went for it. Put it on the shelf for a year and now tried it.
So much darker amber color than anything else I've tried and the taste was dominated by honey, toast and some other mature, although this is most def not sweet. Its dry. Bubbles were very alive and small and the fruit was still strong. Acidity was less than I thought.
Glad I tried this 40+ years bottle before it went past its peak, and didn't break the bank too much either. (1800 views) | | | Tasted by Sundbyberg on 12/30/2017 & rated 92 points: Younger and fresher than the first bottle and therefore also less interesting. (2932 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 12/9/2017 & rated 93 points: Gourmetklubbens trettiosjätte middag: Tema: Inspiration från havet (Södermalm): (Disgorged in March 2017, 100% Meuničre,
Amber colour with a fine stream of bubbles and with a mature nose showing tobacco, smoked charcuterie, plums and a lovely pitch of intense butterscotch notes. Palate was very mature showing butterscotch, red apples and with a long fresh and honey sweetness on the finish. This was the best bottle of Heritage-76 Ive had, very balanced and intense even when having the last glasses the night after opening!
(Best 2017-2021) (567 views) | | | Tasted by Torchy on 10/28/2017 & rated 87 points: Vin I Nord Fine Wine Fall BYO; 10/28/2017-10/29/2017 (Tord Marius): Golden yellow to amber with a mature and welcoming look. Nose with ripe fruit tones and ox. Poor palate with dead fruit, no effervecense and a bad finish. The wine is over the top or oxidised. (3197 views) | | | Tasted by Sundbyberg on 9/25/2017 & rated 96 points: Tasting: Wow! This is not for the fainthearted. Very complex, very mature, with depth, apples, smoke, mushrooms, brandy and so on. Still quite alive. (2877 views) | | | Tasted by Foch on 8/26/2017 & rated 82 points: Ljus. Doft som påminner om madeiravin. Medelkraftig mousse. Fruktig smak men obalanserad. Saknar friskheten som man finner hos många yngre champagner (som visserligen har en annan druvsammansättning) och den balanserade sötman hos lagrade dito. Denna har också den söta lagrade smaken men saknar balansen. Besviken. (2598 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 5/26/2017 & rated 92 points: (Disgorged in March 2017, 100% Pinot Meunier)
Rich golden yellow colour still very light, and not so deep in colour as you might expect. Lively mousse, candied fruit, spices, honey and chocolate. Intense palate and very concentrated with mature apples and honey sweetness. This was a very nice experience, of course very mature but still alive and vibrant for a 40 years old bottle. Will probably best opening soon after disgorgement, but will hold a few years. Best 2017-2021. (2517 views) | | | Tasted by Foch on 5/19/2017 & rated 88 points: 100% PM. Stark mörk doft (av gammalt? Rännsten?). Mycket livlig mousse. Tung kort smak. Intressant men ändå en besvikelse: Ingen honungslen sötma som man kan förvänta sig av en så gammal årgång. Är det så Blanc de Noir utvecklas? (2199 views) | | | Tasted by AV2012 on 5/3/2016 & rated 90 points: 1976 Champagne: Quite recent disgorgement, some 2-3 years of post disgorgement aging. On the nose there was intense marzipan, carrots and vegetality in general. Very intense palate, such a strong presence, ripe red fruits, power over elegance. Though fades quite soon with time, becomes metallic, to drink soon and don't keep for too long when opened. (2099 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 3/5/2015 & rated 94 points: A private dinner (at home): Originally a wine from the legendary René Collard in Reuil; after his death in 2009, De Telmont in Damery took over his stocks. 100% Pinot Meunier, disgorged 31 May 2011 after an incredible 35 years on the lees. Rich but not really deep colour, golden sheen, lively mousse; powerful and expressive nose, candied fruit, spices and white hazelnuts, extremely autolytic (obviously), pepper and mint; the palate is intense and concentrated, bone-dry, incredibly fresh with very considerable bitters, not all that charming but very impressive, hint of honey; excellent length. An amazing experience, a wine that is probably unique in the world. (2475 views) | | | Tasted by paolonardi on 6/3/2014 & rated 94 points: Champagne: Mare d'inverno, canditi, pasticceria, peperone, ciclamino, menta. Naso semplicemente splendido. Bocca clamorosa, dolce di miele, gustoso, maturitā, salinitā. Piacere puro. (3353 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 A˙) 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 |
