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.

Rating: 93.5/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger An elegant, Chardonnay-driven Champagne, with great character and a full body.

A pale gold colored wine with a big, rich nose of citrus fruit (lime), yeast and dried fruit aromas. An elegant, seductive attack that is both complex and smooth. This is a rich, mature, full-bodied Champagne with generous nutty, yeasty flavors. Can be drunk as an aperitif, but it is a superb accompaniment to foie gras or fine, rich desserts.

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger An elegant, Chardonnay-driven Champagne, with great complexity, character and a full body. Champagne Moutardier's take on a Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay-dominated blend is rounded out by Pinot Meunier (20%). It is dramatically different in style than Moutardier's other offerings with a ripe, mature character because of the higher proportion of reserve wine in the blend.
