| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by DrBad on 2/17/2024 & rated 93 points: Strong aromas of brioche and baking bread. Medium body and mousse, big and round in the mouth with good minerality giving lots of character. Easy to get sucked into this bottle. (283 views) | | | Tasted by Bigdogs on 10/29/2023 & rated 92 points: With Mays and Gehring’s. Wonderful Jose and palette. Much time ahead of it. (369 views) | | | Tasted by 32lakeviewwine on 11/27/2022 & rated 92 points: Brioche, yeast on initial taste. Burned off as it warmed up slightly. (614 views) | | | Tasted by KAT9 on 4/16/2022 & rated 91 points: Nice nose of mushroom, savory note. Some minerality. Good finish. I enjoy it. (1084 views) | | | Tasted by rkww on 4/8/2022 & rated 91 points: A great value, the 2014 Gimmonet Fleuron is one of the better BdB I've had in this price range. It offers impressive body, a pleasant mousse, a fair amount of toast, the usual lemon/green apple, and today, just enough age to make it interesting. Not mind blowing, but certainly worth purchasing again and enjoying over the next 5-10 years. (1160 views) | | | Tasted by ZTNELSEN on 2/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Loads of lemon, brioche, honey crisp, hazelnuts, and wet Rocks on the nose. Very rich mouse. Palate is explosive confirming the nose with lovely length and complexity. (1018 views) | | | Tasted by Asmiller on 2/4/2022 & rated 94 points: Great bottle! (1007 views) | | | Tasted by timjr on 11/21/2021 & rated 93 points: Lovely balance, just enough acidity, nuanced peach and apple on the palate. A bit too much bread / yeast in the bouquet for my wife, but I rather liked that. (969 views) | | | Tasted by Paul852 on 7/14/2021 & rated 87 points: Briefly, very smooth, very balanced, very easy drinking. Nice.
And yet somehow a little unmemorable.
Not sure I'll be seeking out more at the ~US$45 I paid. (1109 views) | | | Tasted by Steve.330i on 4/26/2021 & rated 91 points: one of best blanc the blancs in this price range. in the nose brioche and green apple and a nuance of cinnamon. in the mouth fine bubbles, pear and apple, citric, balanced and long!

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. |
