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

"An intense and extraordinary wine, born of a long gestation, the 93 Oenothequeboasts aromas and flavours of brioche, honey, grapefruit, almonds and plums, inno particular order. Disgorged in 2006, this is s stunningly complex wine, thepalate fresh and taut, but extraordinarily rich and evolved. A paradoxicaltriumph."
(Simon Field MW, BBR-Buyer)

This is the latest release of Oenothèque. It is a youthful Champagne, light in color, rich and honeyed on the nose. Honeyed lemon on the palate, with toasted brioche, leads to intense, cyrstalline minerality.
