| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rupert on 9/12/2008: Creamy, oxidative fruit, a bit dull on its own, but the bubbles provided the oomph and the freshness - interesting rather than exciting (2300 views) | | | Tasted by spacewrangler on 8/6/2008 & rated 94 points: Best bottle of the batch yet. Very complex, with exotic/deep/lush fruit and a nice candied/sherry note. Delicious! (2291 views) | | | Tasted by spacewrangler on 5/9/2008 & rated 91 points: Not as fresh as the last bottle, but still exotic, spicy citrus fruits kissed by oak. More yeasty, too. Still bold and young. (2329 views) | | | Tasted by spacewrangler on 4/26/2008 & rated 93 points: Lots of roasted nuts, much like you'd smell at a street vendor's stand. Smoky pear is lush and ripe - very lengthy finish. Very young. Steal at $35. (2340 views) | | | Tasted by dk_lulu on 12/11/2004: Light yellow straw in color. Lovely delicate (and persistent) mousse. Nose of citrus, cream, and peach. Superb creamy flavor w lovely pear and citrus fruit, complexity, notes of peach, excellent delineation, very good balance...yummy...a baby Krug... (3236 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 |
