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

Cristal, the champagne created by special request of Tsar Alexander II, is one of the world's most famous and highly respected wines. Brut Premier, the company's flagship multi-vintage Champagne, is a distinctive, elegant wine that epitomizes the House style of complexity, depth of flavor and long finish.

Wine & Spirits ReviewClassical Champagne, this is predominantly pinot noir from old vines in Cumieres, creating a wine that focuses its flavors high in the mouth. It feels sleek and lively and lasts for minutes. The floral scents of strawberry and brisk taste of toasted lees provide a transparent flavor tha magnifies the minerality of the wine. The perfect form makes it lovely to drink on its own, or with slices of sashimi.Wine Tasting NotesThe color of this wine is salmon pink with orange highlights. On the nose, the wine has an elegant bouquet with hints of cherries that mingle with notes read more...
