Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 21
The 2012 Coeur de Cuvée Brut will keep readers happy while the 2013 ages. There is plenty of energy here too, but the softer contours of the vintage lend a real feeling of sensuality that is impossible to miss. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint, graphite, white pepper and crushed rocks abound. Disgorged: April, 2019.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2032

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.
