By Catherine Fallis, MS, CWP
(NV Bollinger Champagne Special Cuvée Brut) This Pinot Noir-dominated blend undergoes its first fermentation in small oak barrels with an average age of 30 years—a technique believed to produce a more expressive, terroir-driven wine with longer aging potential due to its early oxidation. Straw-yellow in color, it’s a bold, earthy Champagne with aromas of toasted barley, chalk, and seashell. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, with a fine mousse and flavors of eggshell, cream, lemon, and tar. The floral finish picks up notes of rose and violet. The Shifting Landscape of Champagne

Birthday party (Chicago, IL): From magnum. No frills, solid Champagne. A bit rounded and a hair sweeter than is really in vogue these days but it ticks the boxes. Creamy texture, with balanced and not overt acidity.

Certainly really good, gorgeous deep golden color with a ton of vivid orchard fruit; smelled incredibly like the "good" apple cider, the cloudy stuff, with a bit of fresh cream, salty minerality, and floral shades mixed in.
I'm still trying to get a bead on champagne. I haven't tried any over $100, but even the ones closer to that price have *all* had such a strong note of apple orchard (that aforementioned apple cider thing, ever so slightly oxidative) that I can't really pinpoint other notes clearly. So many commenters describe the bottles I've tried as "toasty, bready..." which I sometimes get in high quality still chardonnay, but with all the Champs I've tried, I smell and taste 95% just fresh apples. It's pleasant, but what am I missing here?

In a good place after 2.5 years in bottle (disgorged Sept 2021). Pretty fizzy with flavours of cooked apple, quince, orange sherbert, honey. Surprisingly not too rich and it’s very well balanced with unnoticeable dosage.
