(701 views) | | | Tasted by pfleche@gmail.com on 2/16/2024 & rated 95 points: Perfect Blanc de blancs. Smooth, effervescent, just wonderful! (530 views) | | | Tasted by Dutchd1 on 1/1/2024 & rated 94 points: Very good blanc de blanc.
Disgorged in September 2017 and stored 4 years in my cellar this was ready to drink.
Not quite the 2007 Salon I recently drank but as far as availability and price is concerned an amazing value. Will buy again for sure. Solid 94 points. (810 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 11/7/2023: From magnum and fun tasting it next to the 2010. Quite a contrast in my mind. Both very good, but my heart was with the 2010. The table was split. (1068 views) | | | Tasted by Brolawa on 8/27/2023: O3. A little muted on nose, but solid. Movie night. (1169 views) | | | Tasted by Elpaninaro on 8/18/2023: good lemon color, racy nose with pear and roasted walnuts, on the palate bright, pear and apple fruits, subtle brioche, vibrant and racy across the middle, fine joyous long finish with floral notes, this was showing wonderfully today and promises to flesh out very nicely with a little cellar time.
***(*)+, 2027+ (1092 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/4/2023 & rated 92 points: The End of Winefoolishness in Chicago (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Lemon and apple throughout, mostly citrus-driven finish. Good overall weight and length with a precise, persistent finish. Good now. Very good for the vintage, even if not Ruinart's best vintage. (2045 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 8/4/2023 & rated 93 points: Chez Winefool Goodbye Dinner (Chicago, IL): A very good vintage for Ruinart. Good combination of plush, round fruit with energetic acidity. Precise. (1365 views) | | | Tasted by The Vines That Bind on 8/1/2023 & rated 93 points: Comparable to previous notes but rounder and more approachable. No screechy high acid and seems to have riper Chardonnay fruit than I remember. Toasty Dom brioche is great. (1162 views) | | | Tasted by bullmrkt on 7/2/2023 & rated 95 points: I had a bottle of this 4-years ago, almost to the day, and it paled in comparison to this one—totally unremarkable. Now, it leaps out of the glass with a rich BdB nose and palate, really signing. Wow. Lovely chardonnay and complete transformation. (992 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 5/21/2023 & rated 93 points: Winemaker dinner with Giuseppe Vaira (RPM Steak - Chicago, IL): Gorgeous and in a zone. Plush, toasty and rich fruit with plenty of depth and precision. (1544 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/21/2023 & rated 93 points: "Only for Sundays" (Chicago, IL): Just a slight modest hint reductive on the nose, but again there's a really lovely smoky quality here that I really like. Fresh and vibrant on the palate, with a modestly creamy mousse. I think I would prefer to drink this sooner than later so that I can take advantage of the freshness. (2061 views) | | | Tasted by bigredPA on 3/11/2023 & rated 94 points: Delightful, elegant champagne; really enjoyed this. Aromatic but not overpowering nose; crisp but not overly acidic. Fine bead and mousse. Dances on the palate. (1441 views) | | | Tasted by winetobealive on 1/16/2023 & rated 93 points: VinApogée 2023. Magnum degorgé 2021. Assez minéral . Iodé. Très chardonnay. Petits amers. Très tendu en bouche. Grande garde. (1670 views) | | | Tasted by Vinvidz on 12/7/2022 & rated 90 points: Light golden. Fine bead. More a linear vinous style with great body and balance. Nice persistence on the finish. (1823 views) | | | Tasted by the player on 11/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Light golden yellow color. Fine bubbles, nose of chalk, toast, lemon curd, honeycomb, marzipan. Delicate entry on the palate, great finesse to this Dom Ruinart, some butter in the finish which was a tad short. Not sure how this will evolve. Very pleasant champagne but not sensational. (1761 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 11/12/2022 & rated 93 points: Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VII (Chicago, IL): Not the most complex of champagnes, but I really like the balance here of all the intense acidity and tart 2007 fruit, with a modest chalky quality, and a rounded texture from the dosage. Not as complex as the best champagnes, this is a great wine for drinking now. I've never been a big fan of Ruinart, but I think this wine in this vintage is pretty damn good (love 2007 chardonnay). (2514 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 6/26/2022: Purchased on a trip. I really enjoyed this. The nose is complex and delightful. Floral, orchard fruit, spice, brioche, a hint of lemon peel. The palate has lovely freshness, but also a decadent and rich mouthfeel. Absolutely delicious. (2230 views) | | | Tasted by 5laton on 6/17/2022: Greatly improved in the past couple of years, I found this very appealing but it's not yet ready for my preferences. Too much aggressive CO2 today, was like a blanket over the wine. This was best on day 3. Will wait 2-3 years before opening another. (721 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 6/10/2022: Chateauneuf & Champagne $60+ Non-Blind (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Pencil lead, waxy, good weight, steely and clean, great texture, flavors dovetail; I'd like to see this with more time. (1649 views) | | | Tasted by Southern Wine Buff on 5/27/2022 & rated 93 points: Served at 8-10 degrees as per the instructions. Very fine, intense bead. Lemony gold in colour. Subtle vanilla on the nose. Citrus on the front of the plate, resolving into clear lemon flavours, with a hit of sweetness on the back of the palate. Quite a light, elegant, champagne, yet with complexity and a lovely structure and a finesse that comes from it being 100% chardonnay. (1885 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Champagne study (Chicago, IL): Pretty textbook stuff. Drinks quite well, and has what you expect for this wine. Very fresh still, the youthful chardonnay acidity with just a hint of greenness is still very much in play. Mildly reductive on the nose, but that opens up to a more floral thing afterwards. Lots of potential on this one. (2669 views) | | | Tasted by the player on 5/7/2022 & rated 94 points: Truly outstanding champagne. Golden color with hints of green, fine bubbles. On the nose lots of yellow and sweet green orchard fruits, some pineapple and jasmine notes, very mineral, vivacious with great delineation and depth, finishes long and buttery however not as fat as the older 2002. Simply a wonderful champagne. (1996 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
