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.

"Deep and complex, here's a vinous style, laced with graphite, honey, citrus and woodsy aromas and flavors, with more citrus and floral notes emerging on the palate. Its firm structure is seamlessly integrated into the fine-grained texture, ending with a mouthwatering finish. Incredible combination of lightness and intensity...98." WS 12/05.
