 Tasted by bugles on 3/10/2024 & rated 91 points: Wonderful QPR. Would definitely recommend. Not complex but well made classic style. Not particularly the grower style of champagne which I am starting to get over recently. Great to start an evening with (89 views)
 Tasted by aajder on 4/4/2023 & rated 91 points: Nice color. The nose shows pure aromas of creamy orchard fruits, white flowers, minerals, brioche and a hint of citrus curd. This is medium bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and excellent finesse. The fairly long finish features a strong mineral element. (365 views)
 Tasted by StefanAkiko on 4/11/2014 & rated 92 points: Very clean and clear bubbly.
Light color, citrusy nose with light touch of bread.
Taste is clear and distinct with good, firm acids and great intensity. No layers and no particular complexity. Over 90 points, thanx to intensity of palate and the fact that wife managed to empty half her glass. Almost.
Birthday gift from Hasegawa san and had at L'Effervescence in Tokyo. (2345 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. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
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.
