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.

thinks he should start every day with some Nicolas Feuillatte 1990 Cuvee Palmes d'Or. Good stuff with a great yellow with a slight golden hue. There are hints of baked bread and yeast on the nose, then tasting of peach, apricote, citrus, earth and a little bit of butter on the finish, leaving a creamy apricote aftertaste. In my opinion though the butteryness is probably coming from a little oxidation(as the cork was fairly saturated) and is over powering other fruits that would normally have been expressed. Still a great Champagne, just check the cork.
