| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by yinha on 12/30/2018 & rated 92 points: Drank first within a 95-97 vertical during a Cantonese lunch at Jade Palace. Opened 20 minutes before lunch, kept chilled but not overly so. Drinking very well and a real testament to the excellent stretch of vintages during the 90’s. Still some fine bead, very classy on the palate. Some rated this the best of the 3 tasted.

(2264 views) | | | Tasted by hutch on 7/25/2008 & rated 92 points: The Jug is done fooling around (Suite 100): What a surprise that there seems to be so little interest in this wine. This wine was opened on its sweet spot for my taste. Still fresh and bright, but with just the beginning of some of the aging qualities of champagne. A little yeast on the nose along with the apples. A real tasty champagne. 91-92 (4940 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 10/15/2005: Creamy, yeasty nose of great refinement. The palate is thick-textured, soft and smooth, with fine bead and tremendous persistence. Seemed quite low in acid – but always fresh. Quality stuff. On a cold night was wonderfully warming – and surely would cool in summer too. (4220 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 |
