| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 262 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 3/29/2024 & rated 91 points: Frey's Cat Ranch (Somewhere in the Northern Burbs, MN): Medium salmon color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Cherry, red currants, mulled spice, yeast, almond, vanilla, vanilla bean. 91+pts. (288 views) | | | Tasted by MN Wine Junkie on 3/29/2024 & rated 90 points: PnP - Nice Rose Champagne. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry, some toast and some chalky minerality stood out. Decent, but not a long finish. Nice bubbles. A good everyday drinker or starter Champagne and should be a crowd pleaser. Good value. Solid 90 for me. (213 views) | | | Tasted by shallgren on 3/6/2024 & rated 90 points: Moderate salmon color. Fairly closed nose with strawberries, soft cheese, and a hint of yeast. Fruit overtones and savory undertones. Palate opens with explosively acidity. Cream, lemon, brioche. Moderate length finish (288 views) | | | Tasted by tastark on 2/23/2024: Very high acidity and lean on fruit. A food wine, for sure. (320 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 10/16/2023 & rated 89 points: Left bank bordeaux 2008 and older (BLVD): A fine and relatively unremarkable champagne. Acceptable at the NV level. (1127 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 9/5/2023 & rated 92 points: Similar to last notes, a very good rose champagne for the price. 92 (1071 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 6/11/2023: Blind Champagne Tasting (Astrid's House): Served blind. And as unlikely as it may be to have happen, we had 2 exact bottles of this wine included in the same blind line-up. And as ironic as that is, even moreso the two bottles were in sequence to each other, both bottles closed out the tasting. So, to see the bags come off, and to see the same bottle tasted twice in succession, it's one of those rare moments in my tasting history of doing this for 3 decades that I was stumped. They were both taken from the same importer box, so the conclusion was the same disgorgement/wine, yet I didn't have any disgorge info. 60% Chard, 28% Pinot Noir, with 12% Bouzy Rouge still wine. Both bottles had a salmon light pink color, so that was consistent. Both bottles also, at least for me, exhibited a dosage expression that made the wine have a lime candy quality. One bottle I noted the wine as a 'lime icee', and the other bottle had a 'lime chew' quality. In one bottle, the red fruit was was more drinkable and balanced, and in the other bottle the red fruit was more jammy in tone. Yet, to have the wines one after the other, I had no clue at all that the wines were identical. In sum, a great memory, a good laugh and something I will never forget in my wine tasting life! (1607 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 6/10/2023: Served blind. Bright nose with notes of cherry and cake. Juicy cherry on the palate. Short grip. Sweet tart like quality. Notice the dosage a bit here.
This ended up being an extra test for all of us. I accidentally brought in two bottles of this. Our host didn't really notice when he bagged them. We were all surprised at how different they showed. Especially being served back to back. (1207 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 6/10/2023: Served blind. Quite frothy. Somewhat reserved. Classic nose otherwise with strawberry and mineral. Bright and crisp. A little bit simple being mostly about cherry. A touch of mineral like salinity as it sits. (1155 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 6/5/2023 & rated 93 points: Superb salmon color with fine bead; aromatic, strawberry, raspberry; medium bodied, yeast plus red fruits, medium-plus acidity throughout, medium alcohol which is well balanced; medium-plus length finish. A very consistent wine across all the times I've tried it, and a superb value for rose champagne. 93 (864 views) | | | Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 5/13/2023: Gentle and mature. Delicous with hints of berries. (1004 views) | | | Tasted by Golf_Wine on 7/19/2022 & rated 93 points: What a nice surprise. Served slightly too warm. Put on an ice sleeve … but I might have liked the slightly warmer pour. A nice lush rose, floral, ripe fruits with still some grapefruit bite. Had it as a starter with cheese but could also see it as a desert finisher or as a stand-alone late afternoon kicking up your feet beverage. 20/11/2017 disgorged. I think I paid $50 and would buy more at that. Feel like it’s slightly lower in alcohol and don’t think I would have it with food. Except as apertizer, cheese etc.
Big hit at my dinner with non wine snobs. (1697 views) | | | Tasted by angryphoton on 5/29/2022 & rated 92 points: This has been aging in my cellar for a few years, which made IMHO did the wine good. Very nice balance of red fruit and minerals. Very fresh and bright while not being too acidic and tart. A great buy for $40. (1106 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 3/1/2022 & rated 92 points: This pours a lovely, salmon color. There is a refreshing elegance to the nose with strawberries, berries, fresh picked citrus, meyer lemons, poached pears, candied apples, crushed rocks, vanilla beans, biscuits, baking spices, and warm dough. There is excellent depth with great interplay between the tart, red fruits, citrus, and autolytic notes. The feel is Medium bodied with crisp, high acidity. The acidity is refreshing and mouth watering, but it doesn't dominate. It's been a bit since I've had this and that's a mistake. This is lovely, complex, and a great overall value. (1736 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 2/19/2022 & rated 93 points: Light salmon color. Drank 2 glasses over 2 hours. Always enjoy the Camille Saves Rose Champagne and this was a particularly nice bottle. Fresh air mixing with wafts of pulverized chalk, cherry and raspberry with layers of quince spice and baked apple with notes of almond and dried grasses. The palate is savory, red berry panna cotta, chalk, lemon, apple with hints of apple peel, cherry, yeasty almond paste, hints of cereal. Very deft and long on the finish. Excellent 93(+?)pts. (1782 views) | | | Tasted by IDKDavid on 2/19/2022 & rated 92 points: Drank at a restaurant with a friend along with appetizers. Some strawberry, steel, and yeast on the nose. On the palate, fairly dry with nice strawberries/cranberries coming through with some citrusy acidity. Creamy bubbles that balance nicely with the other elements. The lingering flavor after the last sips reminded me of strawberry sour candy. Not the most memorable rose champagne I've had, but absolutely a quality effort and nice balance. (1455 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 2/14/2022 & rated 93 points: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot noir of which 12% is Bouzy rouge. Salmon color, very fine and persistent bead; high intensity aromatics, red fruited, strawberries, a bit of yeast; palate is medium bodied, incredible fresh acidity throughout, strawberry, some minerality, lemon-lime; finish is medium-plus. This is impeccably balanced, racy, vibrant, and showing all the character I would expect for a rose champagne. Exceptional, and well above its price point (or other champagnes from Saves that I've tried). 93 (1286 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 1/16/2022 & rated 91 points: A very pleasant rose, with yeast, light strawberry and minerality. (1197 views) | | | Tasted by talbot61 on 12/24/2021 & rated 92 points: A lovely champagne, easy to drink, with moderate acidity and medium body. Blind, you would have a hard time tasting the pinkness. (974 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 9/8/2021 & rated 92 points: Medium salmon color. Drank a couple glasses over 2 hours. 62C, 28PN, 12Bouzy Rouge. These are remarkably consistent. Yeasty nose, red cherry, red berries, apple, deep underbrush notes and dried herbs. The palate is medium bodied, energetic and yeasty with cherry, strawberry, apple skin, chalk, dry minerality and a tart red fruit and dried herb finish. 91+ to 92pts. (1470 views) | | | Tasted by RbMike on 9/2/2021 & rated 91 points: Great entry level rose champagne. Lots of yeasty notes, with hints of strawberry, with a nice acidic backbone (1062 views) | | | Tasted by osagher on 8/19/2021 & rated 85 points: There was nothing offensive about this bottle, just a lack of depth. I was expecting the usual notes of strawberry and apple from this Champagne but these were distinctly muted here. There was good minerality, but the balance was off. (1110 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/1/2021 & rated 89 points: Meursault (Southside) 1er Cru vs Village, Mostly Blind (Hughes House - Chicago IL): As always, very berry with rounded textures, good depth, and good enough brightness. (1746 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 2/14/2021 & rated 93 points: Elegant bead, lovely salmon color; high intensity aromatics with strawberries and cream, bit of stone fruit, bit of yeasty bread; palate is medium bodied, vibrant medium-plus acidity, superb red berry fruit, lovely length that could use just a bit more depth in the midpalate, citrus lemon-lime at the end; finish is medium length. Really superb NV rose at any price, and an incredible value at close to $40. 93 (1793 views) | | | Tasted by kenv on 11/7/2020 & rated 93 points: Opened to celebrate Biden's victory. So delicious. Totally dry. Yeasty red fruit. Goes quite well with a wide range of food. (1796 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Sommelier Journal, December 2009
(NV Camille Savès Brut Rosé, Bouzy, Champagne) Another of the exciting grower Champagnes brought to the United States by Terry Thiese and Becky Wasserman. Lively on the palate, this blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from the grand cru Bouzy vineyard does not go through malolactic conversion. A tremendous value, and perfect for this time of year. Hot Picks | By Richard Jennings

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. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
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 |
