| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Baron Slick on 5/2/2020 & rated 91 points: Dry, mineral-inflected notes of raspberries, mandarin oranges, peaches, and fresh baked bread are infused with an energetic bead, crisp mousse, and a spicy piquancy. Long, pleasing, and refreshing. (650 views) | | | Tasted by jeffreylubowski on 3/7/2020 & rated 86 points: Basic rose champ. Expected a bit more from premier cru and reserve bottling, whatever that means these days. Nice salmon color, medium acid, medium to large bubbles. Perhaps a tad coarse. Not really a buy, based on this bottle. (955 views) | | | Tasted by maderay on 11/14/2015 & rated 87 points: G+. Missing some flavor (1211 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 9/23/2015 & rated 83 points: A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with 7-15% addition of Bouzy Rouge.
Pink rose color. Quite sharp, tangy and steely nose with aromas of crunchy white berries and fresh red berries, a little bit of autolytic toast and a hint of spicy Pinosity. The wine is crisp, medium-bodied and steely on the palate with dry flavors of sour cherries, some cranberries, a little bit of chalky minerality and a hint of lemony citrus fruits. The wine is high in acidity with ample and generous mousse. The finish is crisp and steely with tangy, medium-long flavors of citrus fruits, tart green apples, some tart cranberries and a hint of ripe redcurrants.
A very basic rosé Champ. Nothing off the place here, but nothing memorable or characterful either. Nice, but very predictable - to a fault. You won't be offended if you are served this wine, but this is something you wouldn't buy yourself. (1158 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. |
