Oxidative, rich style with some age and astringency (turned out to be down to the vintage, which someone nailed impressively) so I went for a Pinot-dominant house from mid-'00s but others went for Chard-dominant grower. The yeasty and austere combination didn’t work for me here. Last vintage of Pinot Noir before it was replanted with Meunier apparently.

Natural wine impression. According to Amy, a bit off, the last bottle was much fresher.

Beneath the fruit is a gentle chalky minerality and more savoury yeasty and crackery flavours, and the whole package is very elegant. Lovely wine.

Then developing broader shoulders adding more yeasty notes and dough though still keeping the airy lightness. This was a great wine but we would probably have enjoyed more of what it offers had we not been so minded on the food that kept coming to our table. I hope to find this bottle again and give it my full attention.

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. |
