| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by SommMD on 5/15/2023 & rated 92 points: Deep golden yellow
Heavy legs
Nose is prominently secondary and tertiary fruit: toffee and burnt caramel apple, turning to bruised yellow apple, candied lemon, nougat, baked apple pie.
Palate is medium plus acidity, very little sugar from dosage, and more one dimensional fruit of tertiary notes above
Finish is moderate length, but the mid palate lacks body
Great buy from Costco. A study in aged champagne with tertiary notes. Showing just fine, I do wonder if slightly past prime, but still instructive. 92/100 (219 views) | | | Tasted by djarcara on 12/26/2017 & rated 92 points: Full bodied. Rich golden color. Pear, butterscotch, and quince flavors. Nice balanced of fruit to acidity. Shows its age in a good way, yet still very fresh. (859 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 |
