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.

Reviews

Rating: 90/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 129, November/December 2006 ($42; disgorged March 31, 2006) Straw-gold. Mineral-driven pear and floral honey aromas, with a hint of Thai basil. Firm, stony and bright, with medium body and sharply focused citrus and crisp pear flavors. Refreshing acidity on the finish adds brightness and extends the orchard fruit flavors. Intriguing stuff, offering a wild mix of fruit and soil tones.
