I'm not sure I can totally get behind them. They are unique but always have what I can only describe as an 'interesting' non- traditional profile. Almost a sous-voile, sherry thing going on. It's not an off bottle either because I've had these before. Doesn't strike me as something from Ambonnay either.
Don't get me wrong, it is a good wine for sure. There is good structure. Perhaps a bit too lean for my liking. I don't know, I just don't seem to get it maybe. (423 views) | | Tasted by csimm on 1/4/2024 & rated 95 points: A super solid showing, and though perhaps a slight step behind in complexity to a recently sampled Le Parc (2018), this 2017 Bermonts is a worthy sibling indeed. Linear and a bit strict on first pull, with chalk and mineral elements constricting the predominant lemon juice note, the Bermonts needs air to enable flavors of lime, unripe green and yellow pear, smokey sea salt, white travertine, and yellow apple elements to emerge. Finishes with a firm but sophisticated focus.
A bit less interesting overall than the 2018 Le Parc, but more refined and honed than both Le Parc and Crayeres (2018), the Bermonts in 2017 is a Champagne that could use a little time (not a lot) in bottle to develop some girth and layering. That aside, this is a fantastic showing.

(1767 views) | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 9/15/2023: March 2022 disgorgement. 100% Chard. A beauty. Pure lemon, green apple, mineral and clean. Some old wood, lime peel in the finish. Yum! (901 views) | | Tasted by r.o.man on 10/15/2022 & rated 94 points: The journey never ends. This wine is still on the beginning. Beautifuly smoky, balsamic and fruity. Youthful and rich, grippy, salty minerality. Compact, pure with neverending finish. Loaded with energy and freshness. Another masterpiece by Benoit Marguet. (684 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.

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 |
