Fin til prisen på 20€ (380 views) | | | Tasted by PennyBarr on 5/1/2022: Farewell gift (Alan) (882 views) | | | Tasted by scyrene on 11/5/2017 & rated 86 points: (I picked this because I've never seen this label - BRONZE! I've had silver, gold, blue, and red from this house before). Lemon colour. Quite a savoury, toasty nose. The taste is rather too saline for my preference, but it's not bad at this price; moderate fruit and acidity; better with air. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Majestic, ~£18].

Pretty decent: some toastiness. Fine if no more. (4315 views) | | | Tasted by NickBurwood on 7/22/2016 & rated 87 points: Daughter's 30th Birthday Party; Hog Roast, Marquees etc...
Pre-party drink in house with immediate family (part of daughter's polo prize). Pleasant enough broad flavoured champagne in a rustic style but lacking the sophistication of (albeit more expensive) most English fizz and Grande Marque champagnes. (4458 views) | | | Tasted by gunther73 on 12/28/2015 & rated 81 points: Fairly bland inoffensive champagne. Bought at £15. The blue top at £16 is much nicer and more interesting, and worth paying for. I won't be buying this again- many similar champagnes available at lower price points. (4827 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 |
