| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by aquacongas on 9/7/2018 & rated 91 points: Clos Rougeard Breze and Le Bourg and some friends (905 Fahrenheit aka 485° Düsseldorf): This time a little bit less balanced. The chalky and salty elements are in the foreground, not perfectly settled but after a long wine tasting afternoon a great refreshing and palate cleaning finish. 91+ (1616 views) | | Tasted by tcavallo on 1/23/2016 & rated 90 points: Bright fruit, fine bead, good acidity, not giving too much beyond that. (1304 views) | | Tasted by christyler on 12/19/2015 & rated 89 points: Very fine bead - lower pressure bottling? Felt like everything was turned down a notch. Good, not living up to the price tag. (1457 views) | | Tasted by lolo66 on 10/16/2015: tiny little berry fruit along with a candied ginger and exotic Asian spices. singular. unique. quite good. not for everybody. get your geek on. (1527 views) | | Tasted by salil on 7/29/2015 & rated 85 points: I struggled with this, though others liked it a lot more. Some bright, racy pear fruit and yeasty notes, but there's also a sharp herbal, vegetal character here I find offputting on the nose and palate. (2084 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.

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. |
