| Community Tasting Notes (average 84.5 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by bambinojw@yahoo.com on 7/23/2016 & rated 87 points: Very nice value, straw yellow color, a bit deeper than expected. Med-plus intensity, very good acid, creamy texture, notes of yeast, lime....nice long finish. Very enjoyable and food-friendly bottle for 10 bucks. (1153 views) | | | Tasted by Anthony Lombardi on 12/21/2014 & rated 90 points: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay & Agliote. The nose is a mix of tropical & citrus. Fruity palate, but clean & fresh. Begs for cured/ salty bites as that complexity adds some balance to the fruity nature of this wine. (1816 views) | | | Tasted by Alpton on 12/8/2013 & rated 86 points: This bottle has probably been standing on the retailer's shelves for a few years, as the cork was quite dry and did not expand after popping it. However, this has created a slight oxidation that lifts up the yeastiness of this wine. Aside that, this is a clean and light bodied sparkling with aromas and flavors of citrus and fresh red cherry and a slightly peppery finish. (2185 views) | | | Tasted by 314 on 8/26/2011 & rated 82 points: 8/23--25/2011 60% Pinot Noir; 20% Chardonnay; 20% Gamay. Pale yellow with many small and sm/med bubbles. Nose vaguely pleasant but unremarkable. Body a bit creamy, bigger than expected, but no interesting structure. Tapers off very quickly, but a little bit lingers. Bubbles don't (have time to?) play. (Second night still decent bubbles in glass; berry? more noticeable on palate. Taper of finish slightly less abrupt. Third night: slightly fewer bubbles; definite apple.) Not a horrible value at $15, but probably worth a bit more to get sparkling feel in addition to appearance. 82--86 pts. (3199 views) | | | Tasted by ethereal on 7/29/2011 & rated 85 points: Tasty; Large bubbles, nothing tiny like a Pommery or something of that sort, but this is a much cheaper wine. Apples and toast, not fully dry, but not sweet buy any means. For the price I thought it was great QPR, but I also still like Mumm Napa at this price point. Will buy again. (3298 views) | | | Tasted by Skully on 12/25/2009 & rated 76 points: Maybe okay for an everyday bubbles but not that great even for the money, lacking depth or any nice appeal on the palate. (2287 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 6/2/2009: 80% chardonnay, 20% pinot noir. Simplistic, slightly reductive nose. BUt for the price certainly not bad -- $17.99 or so. Rather lengthy finish for such a thing. (1968 views) | | | Tasted by DHerbie on 12/1/2007: Tasted this before buying, creamy for a Brut. Tasted good for the price (14.99) so picked some up for New Year's. (1696 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 1/26/2005 & rated 86 points: Sofitel: Candy apples; cat pee; lots of a’s; tons of bubbles (490 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
