Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 100 notes) | |
| Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 11/16/2009: These halves never showed very well, and they are fully mature now, rich orange blossom, oxidative notes just creeping in. (158 views) | |

| Tasted by BrandrB on 9/28/2009 & rated 89 points: Masters of Wine Champagne Tasting (San Francisco, CA): Great! Light yellow color. Rich toasty nose. Multifaceted palate with flavors of apple, citrus, toast, spice, and nuts. Long finish. Medium-full bodied. Dry and crisp throughout with great acidity. Very good value – one of the top Champagne QPRs of the evening. Excellent overall – everything you could want in a fuller-bodied Blanc de Blancs. (536 views) | |
| Tasted by phlin on 9/19/2009 & rated 90 points: Fine aromas of lemon rind, yeast, bread dough, and a touch of marzipan. Green apples, lemon pulp, walnuts, and crushed vitamin on the palate. Well-delineated, precise, and elegant. (548 views) | |
| Tasted by Brix on 8/9/2009: With le petit gres champenois and a good baguette. This Champagne is delicious. Smoke, toast, caramel apple, marzipan.. a little citrus. The attack is full, lush, and bready, but in the middle, the texture is ethereal and the flavors are nutty, fruity, and sweet even though the Champagne is quite dry. Could happily drink this all night. (951 views) | |
| Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 7/7/2009: Precise, pin point with great green apple and autoytic flavors. Young right now. Great at $50. (1068 views) | |
| Tasted by tvel on 7/3/2009 & rated 92 points: Gotta say this bottle is rockin good. L.CBSA02US (lot code as best I can tell - although it isn't quite as obvious as it used to be). Nose shows orange peel, toast,pear, almond and limestone. The palate is wonderfully crisp and rich at the same time. Lime skin, limestone, apple, almonds and just a hint of strawberry or red fruit. Finish is medium length...it's perfectly effervescent without being creamy...Yum! And much better than last years NV (or was it the year before)...digging it. (1025 views) | |

| Tasted by jlm on 6/20/2009: A nice bottle of this wine. Expressive nose of toast and apples. Citrusy, focused and crisp on the palate. Always a pleasure to drink this bottling. (1204 views) | |

| Tasted by cma82 on 5/22/2009 & rated 90 points: Apples, toasted brioche, minerals, and citrus. This really excites me every time I have it. This bottle was disgorged in early 2005--and was a little more advanced than others I've had. This came out in a more pronounced toasted hazelnut character, and the wine lost some of the citrus components. However, it remained very focused on the palate with great acidity. Very nice.

| Tasted by Anonymous on 5/10/2009: Didn't take notes, but it was very nice, chalky, balanced, nice palate impression. (1392 views) | |
| Tasted by mulligan452002 on 4/18/2009 & rated 88 points: Excellent flavour. Crisp and fruity. Excellent (88.5). (1543 views) | |
| Tasted by Tree512 on 3/7/2009 & rated 89 points: Pure, clean, crisp, not particularly long or complex but a perfect apertif. Enormous value. Likely will improve with age. (1678 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 2/28/2009: Didn't take any notes, but this was fairly consistent with earlier bottles. A very good value for the excellent quality. (1701 views) | |
| Tasted by wineismylife on 2/10/2009 & rated 90 points: WIML90 Tasted Febryary 10, 2009. Opened and served immediately. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout with fine, steady beading. Nose of yellow apples, spiced pears and just a little bit of sherry. Flavors of yellow apples, tangy pears and a little bit of lemon on the medium finish. Bright acidity, medium body. Drink over thei short term. (1811 views) | |

| Tasted by TBAFB on 1/13/2009 & rated 89 points: From a bottle disgorged in late 2004. Nice palish colour although the mousse is fading just a little. Powerful developed bouquet with smoke dominant. To a lesser degree there is a hint of tropical fruit (pineapple) and citrus. Still beautifully dry (dosage is always around 5-6 gm/l) and yet this is rich with fruit, making it a supple and generous drink. Decent length to the finish. This would still be good in two or three years time. Is this 2002 fruit? Rodolph always claims that smoke is the marker of this vintage. (1783 views) | |
| Tasted by arp46 on 1/1/2009 & rated 92 points: As usual a wonderfully dry, fruity and balanced champagne with a long finish and splendid nose. (1778 views) | |
| Tasted by DesertDogESQ on 12/31/2008 & rated 94 points: Best Champange I've had the pleasure of drinking. Almonds, Pear, Apple, Sourdough, butter, and spice. Long, intoxicating finish. Just a hint of sweetness in the dry mouth feel. Truly a stunning wine. Happy New Year! (1740 views) | |
| Tasted by dhonig on 11/29/2008 & rated 95 points: Night One The color is clear light golden straw, and bubbles are tiny tiny tiny. The nose is rich and yeasty, fresh-baked bread and buttered toast, with light delicate citrus (key limes and a hint of pink grapefruit) and lychee. The palate is equally delightful. The mousse is full but delicate. Anybody wondering about the term "mousse" in champagne need but try this to understand how something can be rich and mouth-filling yet light as air at the same time. It also gives a perfect lesson in "brut," proving something can be fruit-filled and floral but bone-dry at the same time. The fruit on the palate is like the fruit on the nose- key lime and a touch of sweet grapefruit. Florals were equally citrusy, orange blossoms from a distance. The toast evolved from attack to midpalate in a fascinating way. Up front it was yeasty and toasty, but as that flavor blended with the fruit, well, the best way to describe it is an incredibly light key lime pie with a Zweiback, not graham cracker, crust. Have you ever had real, genuine, New York cheesecake? One where the crust complements the cake rather than competes with it? Those have crusts made from Zweiback crackers and butter. The overall sense of this wine is sweetness, but it is not sweet. It also had clear minerality, but only as background, not foreground. The finish lasted quite a while, the different tastes all coming together and lingering, all very light but lasting. Night Two On night two the yeastiness took even more of the nose. The smell was richer. Have you ever had Cuban toast? It is Cuban bread, sliced, generously buttered, then "toasted" in a sandwich press. It is yeasty, crusty, and redolent with butter. Spread a piece of that very thinly with key lime and lychee jellies, and you're there. The palate was simi (1856 views) | |

| Tasted by Anonymous on 11/27/2008: This was drinking exceptionally well. Nuts (almonds) and chalk on the nose, with a very creamy, lemon chiffon palate. Excellent. (1845 views) | |
| Tasted by rsepulve on 10/16/2008 & rated 92 points: What a wonderful Champagne! A bready/yeasty style supported by good green apple-like acidity. Some floral and spice aromas and flavors. Creamy mid palate and persistent finish. Doesn't get much better than this for the price! (1916 views) | |

Varietal character (Appellation America) Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia) Le Champagne (Le comité interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne) France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of 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 (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) 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 winemaking 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 from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
