| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by odds on 5/7/2018 & rated 94 points: It was a well fit in the line of aging champagnes (this was the oldest one)- the color scale literally put the wine in the golden/dark gold yellow color. Very nice apple and floral on the nose. More minerals and secondary tastes as I would expect from older champagne. Some claimed that the palate was over dominated by apples, but imho it was in a very good balance. Reminded me a bit of a nice balanced cognac, but with a lot of add on- the floral of the champagne, the flowers, dry fruits (some nuts/almonds?), and citrus tasting.
Still some nice bubbles (though after two hours in the glass there were very little bubbles compared to others in line)
Overall, if you like your champagne (or still wines) with age it is a very good selection, at an excellent drinking point. Would it get much better? I do not know. Some tasters claimed it is a bit over the peak. Others claimed it is at peak but will not get better. One claimed it is not for her palate, fwiw. All opinions are legitimate.
My take- have two? try one (That's what we did). Have three? send me one :-)
[postscript- 24 hours later, I had the last sip (left overnight in 37-40); very light bubbles, but still abit there. Somewhat longer finish. Still darker gold color. Pure pleasure] (1801 views) | | | Tasted by SoundinBetween on 12/5/2017 flawed bottle: cork failed at some point within the last few years, at least. oxidative flavors present but not overwhelming. For those adventurous types who didn't mind the sherry bit this was OK, otherwise done. too bad, as fill looked decent. (1952 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/10/2016 & rated 94 points: Never had this before. Nutty, rich and nicely oxidized. (2885 views) | | | Tasted by Talisker on 11/3/2012 & rated 94 points: Jubilée edition with bronze label to celebrate Pommery's 150th anniversary in 1986.
Mature but still very fresh, caramel, orange cest, coffee, wonderful mousse, elegant, very long. An absolute fabulous champagne that is among the best I have ever tasted. (2780 views) | | | Tasted by -E- on 10/23/2012 & rated 93 points: Dyp, gyllen gul med toner av brunt. Generøs sødmefull nese av toffeekaramell, kaffe og tørket aprikos. Frisk og slank inngang med karamell og tørket frukt på smak. Svakt sursøte aromaer mot nype. Frisk syre. Mild, finkornet mousse. Lang lengde med kaffe og karameller. (4508 views) | | | Tasted by Atreyu on 11/7/2010 & rated 90 points: Acidic and elegant, with aromas of cloves, clementines and dried flowers. But also some malt. This is on the decline and could have used more concentration. (3422 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.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
