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.

A coppery pink color with hints of gold and a delicate mousse. The bouquet displays very intense fruity notes, developing into toasted, subtle grilled aromas with an overall impression of elegance and harmony. On the palate, the wine displays a delightful roundness and wonderful concentration of ripe red fruits. The Bouzy Pinot Noir adds vinosity and structure, slightly tempering the creaminess so typical of La Grande Dame. Complex, rich and long. An ideal aperitif or accompaniment to flavorful dishes, such as lamb or roast veal.

WS 88 (10/1999): A ripe-tasting, dry, full-bodied rosé with pronounced flavors and a lingering finish. Still lively and assertive. Drink now through 2002.

Salmon rose colored. Starts with a rough and yeasty nose. Lower acidity than the 1998, and with a harder edge. Less floral, lots of acidity on the finish, however. Cherry finish, with more subtlety than the rest of the wines showed - excellent.
