Light, bright yellow. Potent citrus and orchard fruit aromas show a good dose of smoky reduction, along with notes of honey, chamomile, jasmine and iodine. Spicy and broad on the palate, offering chewy pear and Meyer lemon flavors that tighten up and become spicier with air. This complex Champagne finishes with strong grip, repeating smokiness and persistent mineral and floral qualities.

Bright and floral lemon citrus nose. This has a gentle thread of sweet spices and a subtle background with a yeasty edge plus nice clarity. The palate has similarly direct crunchy lemon citrus fruit, and acidity is assertive. The texture will benefit from some time on cork to smoothen and settle.
Wine Spectator
A linear version, backed by racy acidity, this offers a minerally, smoke- and chalk-laced underpinning, with flavors of yellow plum, lemon peel and ground ginger. Moderate finish. Disgorged June 2018. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 300 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

There are few areas in the world with a reputation quite as famous and respected as that of Champagne in France, and almost every wine region on earth has imitated or has been influenced by the careful process mastered by the wineries of Champagne. However, it is in the grape varietals which thrive in this region where the secrets to the Champagne's success can be found – the acidic, flavorful Chardonnay grapes meeting the characterful Pinot Noir varietal, and coming together to produce something wonderful in the bottle. There are actually seven varietals allowed by French wine law for the production of Champagne wines, all of which are used by wineries to accentuate each others finest points and maintain the reputation of this very special region, the home to some extremely high quality grapes.

Region: Champagne

The region of Champagne in the north-easterly part of France has, for hundreds of years, been known for the production of high quality, elegant and characterful sparkling white wines. Champagne wines continue to dominate the market for sparkling wines, and are the envy of many countries, with plenty of producers attempting to emulate their unique practices. The chalky, mineral-rich soils of this high altitude region are ideal for growing the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier varietal grapevines which cover the region and are usually blended together in the production of Champagne wine. The climate of Champagne is far cooler than other famous wine regions in France, but the wineries which are found all over the area have generations of expertise, and have no problems in producing vast quantities of their famous produce for the world market.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
