What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

The Wine
Messenger

Rating: 93.5/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger A rich hand-crafted Brut Champagne from a very traditional house. The Champagne has fine long-lasting bubbles and is very complex with a lingering fruit finish.

Light golden color. Fine long-lasting bubbles. Pleasant aromas of citrus and stone fruits (apricots and peaches). A fresh and balanced palate with beautiful biscuit flavors. Very complex with a lingering fruit finish.

Wine Skinny

An excellent buy, this Champagne is clean and fresh, with toast and yeast notes that accent the spicy pear fruit flavors. Nice finish. Ready to drink now.
