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.

Reviews

Intense ruby-red colored wine, of complex varietal aroma, dominated by mature fruits, plum and blackcurrant and enriched by characters of tobacco, vanilla, chocolate and cloves, from the oak. In the mouth, it is a wine with great body and concentration, where mature tannins combine to give expression on the palate, protect the life of the wine and prolong its persistence. Decanting before serving is suggested.
