Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 22 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by jviz on 4/6/2024 & rated 93 points: Really excellent. Drinks like a blanc des blancs, with ample richness, cupcake batter, and green apple. This has improved over the last year in bottle. (943 views)
 Tasted by Mag357 on 4/4/2024: Leesy and milky scents mingle with chalky and citrus notes, followed by a vivacious mid palate with very fine but splashy bubbles, ending in a bone dry, razor cut chalky finish. So let it breathe for an hour for domesticating the gas, personally I liked the peculiarity and the style, it reminded me of certain Selosse Initial in cold vintages. (795 views)
 Tasted by etyc on 3/22/2024: Chalky, somewhat creamy... acidity on the high-side though, making this felt a tad lean... (710 views)
 Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 1/31/2024 & rated 89 points: Initiallement très rude, une attaque de bulle imposante qui vient prendre le dessus sur l'ensemble du vin. Après un 20 minutes, le vin se calme et devient plus accessible. Bien droit, acidité +, minéralité + mais ca manque de fruit. Assez décu de cette cuvée que j'avais bien hâte d'essayer. (1076 views)
 Tasted by Floral on 11/20/2023 & rated 88 points: Improved from the one I tried last year. Solid "very good." Enjoyable. Medium complexity - some butterscotch cutting through apples and citrus. Backbone acidity is strong, but enjoyable.

Best in the first 90 mins! I tasted over 3hrs to see the curve and the end of the curve is very acidic and vinegary - alas.

3.5/5 on my bizarre scale. (1282 views)
 Tasted by astroman on 10/27/2023: Champagne Tasting on Champagne Day (Park 90): Impressions, disgorged 01/23, 2g/l, mineral, slight oxidative, candies, pretty classic house style champagne. Seemly sweet but only 2g dosage. (1275 views)
 Tasted by Decanting Queen on 8/19/2023 & rated 92 points: Brought this to Aria to kick off our wine dinner and it showed up really well. Fresh and acidic yet full of flavor and character. This is a rebuy for me. (2450 views)
 Tasted by WineBurrowingWombat on 7/3/2023 & rated 93 points: Blind pinot tasting (The Sumoba compound): Nose of honeyed and gentle stone fruits with some minerals, sun basked dried earth, and clean light hay.

Lighter fruits on the palate with the fruits being more on the whiter/paler fleshed side. There is an ethereal note of a pit (from stone fruit) with an airy minerality note. Pleasant pitch of deep yellow fruits on the mid to end palate. Good amount of acidity to keep flavors energetic on the palate. (2358 views)
 Tasted by bsumoba on 7/3/2023 & rated 94 points: Blind Tasting at Mi Casa: Reminds me a bit of that Egly/Selosse oxidative style, which I loved. Lots of fruit, honey, candied fruit. Light bubbles. Very good. At its price point, it is decent. I prefer this over the Dom Perignon, brioche profile style champagnes. (2454 views)
 Tasted by astroman on 6/17/2023: Clink Clink Champagne Tasting Event (Warehouse Hotel): Disgorged 1/23, dosage 2g/l, lots of citrus fruits, mineral, high acid, lean. Needs more age to round off the acid. (1632 views)
 Tasted by melvinyeowq on 6/10/2023 & rated 90 points: La Rogerie tasting at Tenuta: Ripe but slightly green fruit, the greenness was distracting for me. The least interesting of the flight for me. (1824 views)
 Tasted by Decanting Queen on 4/28/2023 & rated 93 points: Perfect dosage for me at 2g/l . Citrus, brioche, mineral, plenty of acid. So drinkable. (2277 views)
 Tasted by jviz on 3/3/2023 & rated 92 points: Generous youthful mousse. A compact, coiled wine with some breadth waiting to flesh out. A little pastry dough and sliced almond amid peach fruit and some white grape. I liked this but found it a bit simple. (1267 views)
 Tasted by Bathtub58 on 3/1/2023 & rated 91 points: Slightly younger version of the 2013. Similar profile. Best with 30-60 minutes open in bottle. (1067 views)
 Tasted by Collector1855 on 2/10/2023 & rated 92 points: 2014 blind tasting session. Nose of citrus oil, light brioche, more stuffing and ripeness here than with the Agrapart mineral next to it. Medium complexity and finish. (1695 views)
 Tasted by ledocq on 1/28/2023: I am delighted by the design on the foil, as it seems to have slipped by the blue stockings in charge of design. (1205 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 10/10/2022 & rated 93 points: Janselijn Wines & Verkerk Wines Tasting (Restaurant The Lobby Fizeaustraat, Hotel V, Amsterdam, NL): Trade tasting, brief note. Grand Cru Avize, disgorged July 2022, dosage 2 gr/l. Hint of white nuts, steely acidity, flowers and chalk, expressive. (1995 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.
