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.

Winemakers Notes

The nose is deep, complex and impressively complex for a non-vintage brut, as it offers up a fine melange of oranges, fresh-baked bread, lightly toasted almonds, a touch of coconut meat, and lovely minerality. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with fine mid-palate depth, refined bubbles, and outstanding length and grip on the complex and snappy finish. Clearly this is a wine with some four or five year-old juice in the blend, and is a superb bottle of non-vintage brut. For a basic bottling, it is flat out superb.This wine will be featured at our Champagne Class with Ron Balter
