| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 21 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Xavi1986 on 5/3/2024: Tast Vinicia Lleida. Bolleria, acidez, frescura. Muy bueno. (191 views) | | | Tasted by Vlamentino on 4/14/2024: Pale straw color. Nose: Butter, brioche, lemon, green apple, floral. Vinous, tart, lemon oak and yeasty, racy. Finish is very long. (222 views) | | | Tasted by caivcaiv on 4/14/2024 & rated 87 points: High hopes but delivery was weak... Straw yellow in the glass. Cheesy, brioche nose with high intensity and with some green apple, nutty and peanuts. High salinity but shy on fruit and acidity. Feels much older. Perlage is ok at first but completely disappears after 10 minutes. Thought of a faulty bottle and so we opened a second. Same tasting notes (222 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 2/6/2024 & rated 90 points: Medium nose intensity with notes of lemon, bread, toast, grapefruit. (479 views) | | | Tasted by Floral on 12/31/2023 & rated 87 points: Nose opened with honey and green apple. That stayed with also cream and hay coming in. Mouth is open and fresh and smooth. Mineral.
Neither grand nor overly complex, but giving and pleasant. (428 views) | | | Tasted by gkpaoli on 12/28/2023: Very slight bitter or burnt notes. (89 views) | | | Tasted by asparagus on 11/28/2023 & rated 92 points: Oh this was so good. Zesty, zippy and lovely. A good grower. Will watch our for more. (610 views) | | | Tasted by PT insurgent on 11/18/2023: Ok wine, very fresh, showing nice chard notes, but ultimately somewhat pedestrian, perhaps needs more time in bottle but really probably needed more time on lees. (469 views) | | | Tasted by vespa110 on 10/30/2023 & rated 92 points: paglierino scarico naso fresco e fragrante con note di gesso e mela verde, bocca fresca, precisa, bolla fine... salino ma di media lunghezza. (496 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/24/2023: Second release for this grower and very new for Skurnik as well. So brand new all the way around. In 2018 the young scion started the project of bringing the families vineyards out of contract and back under control. The father's side is Girard and they have 6 hectares in Le Mesnil. And the mother's side has 6 hecctares in Oger. As of the 2023 vintage everything is certified biodynamic.
A rich brioche and toasty nose to it. Good weight and clarity across the palate. Very long finish. Certainly something very special here.
His first wine, 50/50 Oger Le Mesnil - half way. Half mother, half father, half stainless, half oak. (571 views) | | | Tasted by wernicke on 10/9/2023 & rated 90 points: middle weight, with acid and chalk on the texture. This is a throwback to the old Brochet les hauts chardonnays, back when he was not doing it in an oxidative style. (419 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 9/9/2023: First time with this producer, thank you for the gift, Steve. 100% Chard, with equal parts from LMSO and Oger. 2 grams of dosage, farmed biodynamic. Reminds me of Aurelien Laherte's chardonnays (more like his Les Grandes Crayeres). Very fresh, sliced green apple that is lightly creamy, lime peel, mint and lively lemon with some chalk. (702 views) | | | Tasted by astroman on 8/27/2023 & rated 91 points: Blend of 2018 & 2019. 2g, disgorged 12 Oct 2022. Well made champagne with aromas of red apple, lemon, pineapple. Linear on the palate with long finish (574 views) | | | Tasted by Mipesu on 12/18/2022 & rated 93 points: Klasse BdB (475 views) | | | Tasted by BCJ99 on 10/17/2022 & rated 91 points: Very typical Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger, high minerality, chalky, fresh, but accompanied by some creaminess and richness, very good (445 views) | | | Tasted by Morten VB on 10/2/2022 & rated 89 points: Nice and intense Chardonnay with high mineral expression. In the nose green apples, white peach and hints of green tea.
On the palate high minerality - feels like licking a piece of chalk, very dry and high acidity.
Really refreshing and would recommend it with food for now at least (469 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.

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.Champagne Grand CruChampagne |
