This time not that impressive as the last time. Missing the curry and saffran notes. 93 (323 views)
 Tasted by aquacongas on 6/12/2023 & rated 96 points: blind
Nailed it at once. The nose is so distinguish. Curry, saffran, LOve the spicy notes, probably coming from the Ganevat oak. Lovely. 96 (779 views)
 Tasted by Cailles on 9/3/2022 & rated 85 points: No notes taken. This has a lot of substance, many layers, fairly good precision and an elegant frame with fine mousse a good acidity but it‘s not a style I appreciate as it is too oxidative with lots of sherry notes I don‘t like. 85 pts but other will like it better.

 Tasted by sirpat00 on 9/2/2022 & rated 92 points: Tasted at Le Clarence in Paris. Pear fruit, mineral and fine almond notes. Steely minerality. Toast and freshly baked bread. Densely structured with an Sherry-like features (nutty notes) being the most prominent aroma. Aeration further pushes ox and nutty notes forward on the bouquet as well. A sophisticated wine – for want of a better description for this oxidative style - even if not as delicate or defined as I would have hoped. (687 views)
 Tasted by aquacongas on 4/24/2022 & rated 91 points: blind
Act 3, scene 4, made in oak from Ganevat Jura and usung his lees. A lot of oriental spices, reductive in style. some wet stones. 91 (875 views)
 Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 6/13/2021: Remarkable champagne, aged for three years in barrels previously used for Ganevat Vin Jaune. Native yeast, from Montgueux near Troyes. Deliciously fresh up front, orchard fruits that moves into a tangy VJ influenced midpalate, with fresh walnut, has some flesh but finishes with a really saline finish. Quite unusual and distinctive but delicious too. (622 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.
