Firm acidity structures this mouthwatering Champagne, yet there's a fine, lacy quality to the mousse that softens the overall impression, carrying flavors of pear tart, star anise, chalk and fresh ginger. A rich hint of marzipan lingers on the finish. Disgorged December 2015. Drink now through 2021. 1,000 cases made. ... More details

This offers super fresh, sliced lemon and grapefruit aromas with flowers and biscuity notes. The palate has a crisp, extra-brut punch with plenty of ripe-fruit flavors, in the citrus and peach zone. Sorbet-like finish. Very expressive, drinkable blanc de blancs. Drink now. Disgorged October 2018.

Notes of citrus, petrol, yeast and green apple lead to delicious, intense and relatively foamy flavors as the supporting mousse is notably aggressive (though not hard), all wrapped in a markedly dry but not really austere finish. This relatively linear effort could use a couple of years to unwind somewhat and to develop a bit more depth. I like this but I wouldn't describe it as a charmer.

Disgorged in November 2017, the latest rendition of Vergnon's NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Eloquence offers up notes of hazelnut, blanched almonds, peach, crisp yellow apple and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with a frothy but fine mousse, ripe acids and a delicate core of fruit, concluding with a bright and chalky finish.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region: Champagne

The beautiful north-easterly region of Champagne in France is famous around the world for the production of the exquisite sparkling white wines which characterize the region. All over the globe, bottles of wine from Champagne are celebrated and enjoyed, and their fame has come about through generations of expertise and experimentation, and a dedication to quality which raises the bar for producers of sparkling wines everywhere. The vast majority of grapes grown in this special region are of the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier varietals, the principle grapes used for the production of Champagne sparkling white wines. The region itself is far cooler than many other important French wine regions, but this hasn't stopped the dozens of wineries in Champagne from making their distinctive and much-loved produce.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
