| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.5 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by grapenomad on 3/12/2024 & rated 88 points: Moderate golden in the glass. A nose that is marked with fresh stone fruit, a bit of guava and cantaloupe, together with some strong bready notes as well. Palate is round with medium (+) acidity, tasting much sweeter than I anticipated. Good complexity all around, but not heavenly in any sense, especially for grand cru status. (226 views) | | | Tasted by Anna@WineCellar on 11/13/2020 & rated 87 points: Toasted bread and yellow apples on the nose. In mouth foamy, with a slight sweetness and rounded acidity. Flavours of yellow apples, cream caramel and citrus.
Deg 02/18. (Label says Extra-brut, but is perceived more as a Brut in mouth.) (1764 views) | | | Tasted by HeGe on 11/5/2017 & rated 90 points: All the good qualities of a good champagne, paired also well with mixed starters (4358 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/27/2017: Crisp and brioche on the nose. Clean on the palate, very fresh and tasty. Maybe it's just the first drag of champagne in a while. (2456 views) | | | Tasted by RolfT on 9/20/2014 & rated 85 points: Tasted at an A. Bergere tasting in Copenhagen where we tasted the whole line.
This was my favorite of the non vintages.
You could really taste the high quality of the grapes which are all grand cru and which give this wine an intense nose and flavour.
I wish that it had been priced a bit lower than 40-50$. (3186 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.Champagne Grand CruChampagne |
