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.

Wine Spectator ReviewRated 90This is almost silky in texture, with honey, almond and citrus peel flavors and a crisp, mineral finish. Has great balance and freshness, making it ideal as an aperitif. Drink now through 2016.Wine Tasting NotesThe Blanc de Blancs is a pale yellow color with green hues. The nose is herbal with hints of jasmine, white peach, mint and pear. On the palate, the wine is very fresh, well-balanced, straight and pure. It is the perfect companion to shellfish, crayfish carpaccio, sushi and all white fish.

Nice champagne, well aged, soft and subtle with a very nice texture. To be honest I was celebrating so it went down quick...

Solid floral nose with mild fungus in the woodshed, the acidity is perfect and creates a long impression. Good bubbles.

This sister Champagne to the renouned Salon has all that could be desired of a blanc de blanc: pear and white peach on the nose, delicate, chalky minerality... and above all purity.
