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.

Pale gold, aromas white flowers, honey, and eggy bread. Delicate to start with surprisingly long finish. Complex; taste of almonds, decent sugar balance.

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Slightly pink tinge - so definitely not the 1999 Blanc de Blancs described here. Fully evolved and headily perfumed - lots of Pinot? Sweet and flattering and rather pungent. Nice drink - very flattering, Requires no effort at all! Neat, quite powerful finish.

The tête de cuvée from Perrier-Jouët. Medium-bodied and complex, Fleur de Champagne is enjoyed by lovers of great Champagne for its beautiful flower-painted bottle, as much as its smooth, sophisticated taste. It is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir.

The 1999 Fleur de Champagne is a Brut wine, composed of 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier grapes. The blend contains a high proportion of Chardonnay that comes from the grand crus of the Cote des Blancs. Pinot Noir originating from the 100-percent-rated villages of Mailly, Verzenay and Verzy in the Montagne de Reims combine with the Chardonnay to create a delicate cuvee. The cold, frostless winter of 1999, coupled with a moderate spring and cool August, were perfect weather conditions, resulting in an excellent harvest.
