Champagne & Sparkling Tasting Notes
1995 Pacific Echo
Anderson Valley [sparkling] Blanc de Blancs
Score: 90.0
"Small active bead, full-flavored for a sparkler, nutty, lemony, very refined and very complex, with creamy texture and a long, long finish."
|
1995 Pacific Echo
Anderson Valley [sparkling] Cremant
Score: 82.0
"Cremant (creaming) is a class of sparkling wine made with fewer atmospheres of pressure. Pacific Echos is beige with a small activy edgee bead and frothy edge. Its on the sweet side of Brut, full-bodied, with lemon, yeast and spice flavors, yet the creamyness covers up the fruit on the mid-palate."

Laurent Perrier
[sparkling]: "Cuvee Rose Brut, Champagne"
Score: 89.0
"Tiny active bead, fresh strawberry aroma, muted strawberry on the palate with leesy, yeasty flavors and firm acidity. Tart leesy finish."

Laurent Perrier
[sparkling] Brut L.P. Champagne
Score: 93.0
"Lively lime, kiwi, lemon thyme, fresh yeast bread and mineral notes are the aromas and flavors that weave through this enormously complex and fascinating champagne. The bead is active and minuscule, the texture creamy, the dosage on the high side of Brut. Puts most tete de cuvees to shame."

Louis Roederer
Champagne [sparkling] Brut

"Apple and peach fruit with a touch of ginger backed by a good dose of yeast, extremely creamy on the mid-palate, following through to the minerally finish. Long and satisfying. (almond)"

Deutz
Champagne [sparkling] Brut Classic
Score: 92.0
"Complex toast and sour apple, kiwi aroma, a whisp of caramel, medium bodied, persistent effervescence, creamy texture, tart explosion of berry fruit on the finish. The Pinot Noir really gives it oomph. "

1993 Deutz
Champagne [sparkling] Blanc de Blancs
Score: 94.0
"Refined, delicate apple and lime, complex yeasty flavors, light toasted almonds, gingerbread, extremely creamy texture, tart fruit and lees on the palate, followed by a leesy finish that lingers for minutes. Wonderful persistence and level of intensity. (urine)-(very cool, way old cheese)"

1990 Piper-Heidsieck
Champagne [sparkling] Brut

|
1994 Handley
Anderson Valley [sparkling] Brut

Navarro
Anderson Valley [sparkling] Brut
Score: 85.0
"Very active small bead, muted apple fruit with a good compliment of yeast. Somewhat one-dimensional, but it has a fine structure and finish. A blend of mostly '91, with some '89 and '90."
|
Domaine Chandon
California [sparkling] Brut Classic
Score: 91.0
"The current release of Domaine Chandons standard bearer is the best ever, a large step forward in refinement. Balanced citrus and apple fruit with subtle creme brulee notes, drier, with creamy texture on the mid-palate, and a crisp lemony finish. "
