Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Dec 13
(disgorged May 5, 2013): Pale yellow. Intense, mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruit scents show very good clarity and a suave, building floral quality. Racy and precise, with vibrant orange, green apple and honeysuckle flavors complemented by anise and bitter quinine nuances. Closes dry and tight, with very good clarity and mineral-driven persistence.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
