 Tasted by Orange Tsian on 7/8/2023 & rated 91 points: 杏仁乳、榛子碎、不少坚果碎屑,苹果、苹果汁等,带有些许氧化味以及陈年而来的焦糖之类的风味,周遭有一圈轻微的奶油。入口时分前段颇为宽阔有力,滚滚的苹果、苹果泥、柠檬挞和蜜渍柑橘之类的果味,还有轻微的咸奶酪,整体比较清澈,酸度已经驯化,变作柔顺绵绵,后段略弱,醒酒后有所好转,整体果味也更加新鲜,不过收尾有点苦,长度略欠。91/100 (326 views)
 Tasted by SoundinBetween on 2/8/2019: Champagne Jacquesson Visit with Vintage '59 (Dizy): Brief tasting note, at the winery, direct from the cellar. Deep lemon color belies the age compared to today's younger cuvees. Zesty nose of lemon, pineapple, cream and honey, this shows a touch less fresh today (perhaps only in comparison, again) but with marked flavors of cheese curd (leesy quality), mint, salt and herbs. A beguiling wine today. (560 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 12/2/2016 & rated 90 points: Twelfth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Late night, brief note. Apple and pear, moderately mature, good energy. Very classically styled, very good now. (2495 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/27/2015 & rated 90 points: Post Musique & Vin Festival BYO Dinner with Musicians (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Lean orchard fruit with moderate signs of maturity. Lots of energy, consistent with how other well stored 1988s are performing. Very good now. (2466 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 10/24/2014 & rated 90 points: SAG (Blind) Tasting (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Ripe and mature apple aromas and flavors that is advanced but age appropriate. Good vibrancy and energy with moderate length. Two consistent bottles. (2701 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 10/20/2011 & rated 89 points: Acker Merrall BYO (Sepia - Chicago IL): From magnum. Lean and direct in the style of good 1988s, just a little short on the end. (3256 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.
