| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 26 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rupert on 2/17/2024: Really good without being overly exciting - as ever rich, tangy, a touch of grip. (681 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 12/30/2023: Fine, rich, tangy, with a touch more finesse than the Collection. (684 views) | | | Tasted by Rallerboy888 on 7/9/2023: Didn’t live up to my expectations, as it seemed a little simple and muted, albeit a lot better than the basic Le Mesnil BdB that came before it.
I suspect this needs a year or two to really show. (1124 views) | | | Tasted by coremill on 12/30/2022 & rated 92 points: Broad and creamy juicy citrus and green apple, with excellent depth and a lovely chalky base providing needed grippy structure. Excellent. (1542 views) | | | Tasted by DrBad on 5/15/2022 & rated 94 points: We really enjoyed this. Toasty bread aromas, crisp red apple and almonds with a full body. (3128 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 4/30/2022 & rated 91 points: Great weight and texture for this price point. Very young though, seems like all the parts have not integrated yet. This could score significantly higher in 5 years. (2574 views) | | | Tasted by Bagerhat on 4/13/2022 & rated 91 points: Lovely buttery nose. Needs more time to integrate the acidity. (2392 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 3/6/2022: Lovely nose of red berries, red apple and some wheat bread crust. Taste of red fruits, slight sweetness to the fruits albeit not at all jammy. Firm acidity and freshness. (2197 views) | | | Tasted by Rossenmp on 2/10/2022: Parker 93 (2023 views) | | | Tasted by Madera16 on 1/25/2022: This was excellent with great structure and depth. Sadly I drank it as I was developing Covid and later while I was still somewhat anosmic. So my memory is mostly of the structure and texture, which was very fine. Will need to try again. (1473 views) | | | Tasted by ayalao3 on 1/24/2022 & rated 93 points: Only a slight step below the Cristal 2013 for now. Cristal will age better. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 6/6/2021: Some what sharp, acidic nose. Not as powerfull as other bottles ive had of this wine but ok glass. (2485 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 5/22/2021: Dense powerfull and complex nose. Red apples, apple peel, rye bread, pepper.
Very good taste. (2083 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 5/3/2021: Rye bread, powerfull, red apples, some dry wood or spice (2129 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 2/27/2021: Slightly dark for a relatively young champagne. Powerfull nose, red apple, and bread crust. Full body, quite powerfull taste, lots going on and seems like a wine with potential although it aleeady drinks well. M+ acidity (2287 views) | | | Tasted by Shrewsram on 2/13/2021 & rated 93 points: Lovely golden appearance
Very leesy, mature and developed nose - rich notes of pâté, toast, mirabelle plum.
Quite racy in the mouth, taut and vinous, great intensity and drive (even a touch of astringency) but there is also a creamy richness and more of those stone fruits. Feels luxurious, feels special.
I think this is 80% Pinot Noir? But really didn't shout of red fruits.
We enjoyed it very much, it drank so very well, and I expect it would age beautifully too. (2445 views) | | | Tasted by EskoR on 12/7/2020 & rated 88 points: 88(++) (1655 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 8/1/2020 & rated 91 points: (Disgorged in 2019, 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, dosage 9 gr/l)
Light yellow colour with a greenish hue and a youthful nose showing minerals, raspberries and opens up some with some roasted bread and Brazil nut in an intense and lovely way. Nice on the palate that is dominated by intense citrus acidity before opening up in the glass showing a nice creamy mid also showing some lime citrus sweetness on the lengthy finish.
Still very youthful and should reward a couple of years of post-disgorgement to settle down but it’s hard to resist the youthful intensity at this point!

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 |
