| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 23 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by acyso on 4/18/2024 flawed bottle: Dinner at 312 Fish Market (Chicago, IL): Dirty and funky. Way too mushroomy too. (171 views) | | | Tasted by KenK on 3/1/2024 & rated 90 points: Old wine aromas with peach color. A tad oxidative, but impressive fruit flavors, nice effervescent & good acidic structure. Overall, I’m a fan, but I liked it more than most. (148 views) | | | Tasted by merlotsmile on 9/29/2022: Vinminnen 11 (596 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/26/2022 flawed bottle: Champagne study (Chicago, IL): Corked. And really funky. (1455 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 6/24/2021 & rated 92 points: I'm not a big fan of older Champagne, though this was quite lovely as the fruit is still very much intact and the earthen mushroom notes were secondary to still fresh black cherry. Almost like a black cherry cream soda with subtle hints of earth. Nicely fresh and energetic.

Had the opportunity to taste it from a well aged bottle. Age appropriate golden/rose color, dark rose (picture uploaded). Long bubbles, and big floral especially for the age of the wine (I have had a handful of mid 80's to early 90's rose champagne and this one was among the top three). Apricot on the nose and palate. On the palate, you can feel the secondary tastes and floral. It fitted well with the appetizers, and a lightly crusted pizza. It opened up over dinner. nice, long lasting mousse and great minerals on the finish. Nicely stored bottle would be rewarding to open. Hence "thank you sir, may I please have another?"

Yeasty nose
Very dry, savoury, not massively fruity though some richness still
Even feels a little tannic
Toast and some coffee on finish
Very long
Beginning to taste like a red wine (2944 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 7/11/2014 flawed bottle: Filling in w/the Friday Brown Bag Group (Mike & Judi's): Oxidized. L940345 (4738 views) | | | Tasted by KCBrian on 2/14/2013: This bottle was no right. Had the taste of a light brandy. Color wA also off......much darker than norm. Too bad! (4859 views) | | | Tasted by jreis on 12/30/2011: Superb bottle. Still beautiful color and mousse. Some secondary sherry notes on the nose, but still young vibrant creamy vanilla, yeasty bread, lemon and beautiful sweet strawberry and raspberry fruit on both the nose and palate. Still many years of pleasure ahead with a well stored bottle. (4956 views) | | | Tasted by Argrath on 10/27/2011 & rated 94 points: (Old note)
Superb bottle of rosé champagne! Mineral, violets, petit fruits rouges, and blood orange. Very good depth.
Harmonius, quiet round and fullish palate. Good acidic structure. Blood orange, chocolate, creamy and red berries. Among the best rosé champagnes the group has tasted. And 1990 - what a vintage! (2913 views) | | | Tasted by pdemaio on 4/30/2011 & rated 93 points: Straight up apple and yeast. Minor baking spice and good acid. still tasting nicely. Would make a heck of a pie. Pdq93 (3704 views) | | | Tasted by NittanyLion on 11/26/2009: Great wine! A hint of raspberries on the nose - but developing some nutty flavors and a bit of citrus/honeysuckle. Nice initial mousse that calms down after a bit in the glass. This one appears to have a great life ahead. (3309 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 7/14/2009 & rated 92 points: Bastille Day dinner: Pale copper color. Aromas of red berry and strawberry with hefty nutty overtones. Some brioche qualities apparent with air. Flavors of berry, nuts and dried honey. Thanks M&J! (2978 views) | | | Tasted by psmith on 4/2/2009: Dinner with the Lees and Zimmers (Columbus, OH): Bright, forward red fruit notes - strawberry and cherry cola. Still vibrant on the palate, with a mousse that hasn't quite toned down yet despite overall good balance. Very enjoyable. (3095 views) | | | Tasted by zimmy07 on 4/2/2009 & rated 91 points: Really enjoyed this wine. Still very vibrant with an aggressive mousse and acidic backbone. The sweetness of the rose was perfect in my opinion. Very nice strawberry just hitting at the mid palate, nit too sweet at all, just a drip of sweetness. good stuff (2518 views) | | | Tasted by Thilo on 12/9/2006 & rated 92 points: Color is coppery amber. Nose shows biscuit, toast, lemon, and strawberry. On the palate, toasty lemon, dough, and a hint of strawberry...all balanced by fresh acidity. Mousse very lively...an enjoyable bottle, thanks to Bill Wood. (2975 views) | | | Tasted by grog on 1/20/2006 & rated 88 points: Seemed a bit tired compared to other bottles I've had. Either this bottle was compromised or this wine is entering its 'drink up' phase. (3402 views) | | | Tasted by otisabdul on 12/31/2005 & rated 85 points: Recently purchased for $49. Dark pink hue. Bubbles were faint and sluggish. Distinct cherry/berry flavor notes on the finish. Acidity was mild. Not a good match with the lobster tail it accompanied. (3336 views) | | | Tasted by cassetta on 5/14/2005 & rated 90 points: Blair's Burgundy and Bordeaux Blowout: Nice mature rose with a little strawberry on the nose.

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 |
