Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 241 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Terramare on 4/2/2024 & rated 92 points: This bottle held up quite well for our Easter dinner, the age out on the Community window is quite off. This bottle could easily go another several years yet. BTW, the cork on this one was super-sealed - it took quite a bit of effort to open it. (180 views)

 Tasted by Harley1199 on 8/14/2022: By the glass. Easy wine, red fruity style, high acidity, giant bubbles, crown cap closure. How many tries has made Chandon in California already? Sincerely I don't care. Just fair to start this tasting event.

Por copas. Vino fácil, de estilo a frutas rojas, alta acidez, burbujas gigantes, cierre de chapa. ¿Cuántos intentos ha hecho ya Chandon en California? Sinceramente no me importa. Justito para comenzar el evento de degustación. (668 views)
 Tasted by mayakacz on 2/13/2022: Very pale pink orange colour.

 Tasted by kkleg on 12/8/2017 & rated 92 points: Fantastic with a year's age. Earthy and showing great fruit. (2575 views)
 Tasted by Baron Slick on 10/5/2017 & rated 89 points: Strawberries, raspberries, citrus, and graham cracker sweetness fill the nose. There's vibrancy, lift, and weight to the red berry, tangerine, and lime flavors, but they're a tad less interesting than the nose. Chalk and citrus pith finish. (2720 views)
 Tasted by akpace on 10/1/2017 & rated 87 points: Nice dry, more of any everyday rose. (2633 views)
 Tasted by 560 B&W on 5/13/2017 & rated 87 points: A bit meh. 13% (2911 views)
 Tasted by brh_wine on 12/11/2016 & rated 92 points: Color was darker side of rose. Nose showed hints of toast and well developed age. Abundance of small bubbles and taste was excellent mature sparkler with yeast and fruit balance. Still has some potential to age gracefully. (2572 views)
 Tasted by kkleg on 9/9/2016 & rated 89 points: Rather subtle pop when opening, but vigorous bubbles in the glass. Beautiful copper-pink color. This wine has some weight to it. Toasted bread and strawberries on the nose. A bit short on the palate, with yeasty notes. A decent wine, but a bit disappointing given this is their top bottling. (2957 views)
 Tasted by Ssikes14 on 5/22/2016: Good stuff (2990 views)

Domaine Chandon

Producer website

Champagne Blend

"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.

However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
