| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 82 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Massengale on 12/31/2023: Disgorged in 2013, this was a bit oxidized. Last bottle of a case of splits, always enjoy this producer. (382 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 3/4/2023 & rated 88 points: Average Blanc de Bancs in my humble opinion. I found it lacking finesse and in the mid-palate. Also, lacking acidity to tame the sweetness in the finish. (986 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 9/29/2022: First sample of this producer; very enjoyable if relatively straightforward, the nose is classic Cramant/Avise chardonnay with pear, green apple, citrus, some yeast notes; the palate is dry with good depth and plenty of energy. Good and would probably buy again. (1238 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 8/1/2020: First time with this producer and even the retailer who had it. From a magnum. This is more of a QPR play. It's not an amazing champagne, but it's a good one and easy to drink and was very reasonably priced for the mag. In that very racy grower style where it's super dry and there's a hint of puckering. Also paired with some caviar and the saltiness brought out the bubbles a bit more. (2353 views) | | | Tasted by JKGrice623 on 12/31/2019 & rated 95 points: Love this! Handcrafted traditional champagne. BdB fruit, balanced, nice finish (2499 views) | | | Tasted by DRK III on 12/28/2018 & rated 91 points: Very enjoyable. Was better the second day after being left open in the fridge overnight. Took on a pleasant oxidized note. (3157 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 12/8/2018 & rated 90 points: Not sure about this one--has all the bells and whistles, BdB, Cramant GC, all natural, 5 yrs. en tirage, but had a little too much earthiness, almost a corked note on the first bottle, second was better, still good, but something not sitting right with me. Monopole Champagne Extravaganza. (2972 views) | | | Tasted by WineTally on 6/2/2018: 100% Chardonnay

At its best 2 hours after opening when it’s vinousity, depth, and complexity came forth. (2879 views) | | | Tasted by sc03852 on 12/14/2017: Rounded, full bodied honey. Sweeter than expected but yeasty nevertheless (2664 views) | | | Tasted by jaumealaska on 11/22/2015 & rated 89 points: Light yeast touch to a clean and balanced sparklers--enjoyable. (4401 views) | | | Tasted by bradfriedlander on 10/31/2015 & rated 92 points: Still drinking delightfully. (4161 views) | | | Tasted by BuzzzzOff on 8/20/2015 & rated 87 points: We sipped by the glass at Epure (http://www.gastronaughties.com/epure/) in Hong Kong during a lazy liquid lunch. Served in proper wine glasses rather than movie-star-like flutes! Light yellow. Sightly toasty nose. A pretty darn-good bubble by the glass at a reasonable price in a most excellent restaurant. (4025 views) | | | Tasted by djs on 11/5/2012 & rated 92 points: Better on second night. (6634 views) | | | Tasted by Jason Millar on 6/29/2012 & rated 88 points: Quite a lush, open style - smells of almond croissants on the nose, palate is mid-weight and nutty with plenty of golden fruit, but suspect this lives at the higher end of the brut dosage spectrum - 10g? Pleasant and easy to like, though. (6763 views) | | | Tasted by JBsquared on 3/11/2012: Having neither the full complexity of the Millesime nor the freshness and vibrancy of the standard NV Blanc de Blancs, this wine falling somewhere between the two is marginally my least favourite of the Lancelot Royer cuvees. However, it is still very good indeed. (4868 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 1/12/2012: North Berkeley Portfolio Tasting: Brief Notes (Presidio Golf Course, San Francisco): Dry, crisp, light and mineral. Really good Blanc de Blancs. (5817 views) | | | Tasted by Rogershkg on 8/26/2011 & rated 90 points: This is really nice champagne. Colour is soft gold. The nose is lemony. The bubbles re small. It has a nutty flavour and smooth to drink. It may not be a Crystal or a Dom but it certainly can rate with a lot of the others. (2893 views) | | | Tasted by Rogershkg on 8/26/2011 & rated 91 points: I think this is a good champagne. Colour pale straw. Nose Lively. Nutty flavour. small bubles. What more does one want? (5169 views) | | | Tasted by Rogershkg on 7/29/2011 & rated 90 points: Really nice champagne. Good colour, nice aroma fruit. citrus - nutty reasonably long taste, easy to drink quite a soft flavour. (2941 views) | | | Tasted by Valenzuela on 3/30/2011 & rated 84 points: Tiny bubbles, sweet flavor with a hint of chocolate, with a crisp finish. (3238 views) | | | Tasted by sharonandroland on 2/2/2011 & rated 85 points: Decent Champagne (3339 views) | | | Tasted by mmh on 10/11/2010 & rated 90 points: (Tirage 1988, disgorged Oct 2008). Bright golden colour. Toast, apples, toffee, lemon and lots of minerals. Nice acidity too. Tasted surprisingly young. An excellent match with lobster for my birthday (Tack älskling!). Quite typical mature Cramant BdB. (3871 views) | | | Tasted by bmagic on 7/26/2010 & rated 93 points: Pears, ripe lemons; nutty and creamy. Well-rounded and sophisticated. Excellent finish - very smooth, long, no harshness. Will be buying some more. (3856 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 7/17/2010 & rated 91 points: Anita: Nice yeasty notes, touch candied frt, very persistent bubbles, good all around drinker on hot day. Gd a’s, med. dark yellow-gold, can detect just a very slight nuance of age/even oydation, but tasty. W chicken.

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. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
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.Champagne Grand CruChampagne |
