Expert Ratings

Ratings   Vintage Source Flavors
Tanzer - 87 Details: ($140) Pale salmon color. Smoky aromas of strawberry, raspberry and earth. Slightly dry-edged strawberry flavor offers moderate depth, nuance and verve. Not bad, but I expected more depth of flavor and stuffing. 1997 Tanzer stony, strawberries, yeasty
WineEnthusiast - 92 Details: This is a beautifully mature wine, its sophistication belying the famous frivolous Belle Epoque flower bottle. It is toasty, rich and crisp, flavors of red fruits layering with light tannins and crisp acidity. Over the years, this has remained a consistently fine rosé, and this 1997 is no exception. 1997 WineEnthusiast earth, raspberry, smoky, strawberry
WineEnthusiast - 91 Details: The familiar Belle Epoque bottle, based on the design of Emile Gallé, is accented in pink for this mature, balanced rosé, with a layer of crisp raspberry fruits and rich, elegant acidity. Aromas of caramel and strawberries are matched with honey and yeast. 1997 WineEnthusiast
Tastings - 90 Details: Bright salmon-orange hue. Faint Burgundian aromas with bready accents follow through on a smooth and creamy palate with lingering dried red fruit accents. An elegant, soft and creamy rose style 1997 Tastings caramel, honey, raspberry, strawberries
Tastings - 90 Details: Brilliant copper-salmon hue with a lively mouse and fine bubbles. Strawberry, dried cherry and carnation aromas. Medium-full, this has tart acidity and good depth of bright strawberry fruit and is drinking well now 1997 Tastings
Tanzer - 88 Details: Pale orange color. Strawberry, baked apple and earth on the nose. Fresher in the mouth than on the nose: fruit-driven, intensely flavored and slightly earthy. Still a bit youthfully aggressive and not yet showing much complexity. Finishes ripe and fairly long. Very good but not special. (Chateau & Estate Wines, New York, NY) 1995 Tanzer mineral, smoky
WineEnthusiast - 90 Details: Dried cherry, tarragon and anise aromas open this medium-weight, brisk rosé. Brisk citrus accents adorn the plum and cherry fruit core. The mouthfeel has weight and edge; the bead is fine and steady here. Finishes very crisply, with a hint of bitter plum skin and mineral-herb accents. 1995 WineEnthusiast anise, bitter, citrus, dried cherry, plum
CGCW - 96 Details: Simply superb in each of its dimensions, this delicious bubbly tastes younger than its years yet boasts the complex, layered and rich qualities than can only come with age. Its engaging aromas are a mix of yeasty autolysis married to fairly rich fruit and underlain by notes of biscuits, stony soil and hints of strawberries, and its foam-enhanced flavors hit the same wonderfully tasty stops along the way to an incredibly long finish. Expect a bit of red wine astringency as it ends, and pair it up with savory shellfish or rich salmon dishes. 1995 CGCW
Tastings - 88 Details: Pale salmon. Moderately full-bodied. Balanced acidity. Subdued, smoky aromas. Nice, rounded mouthfeel shows an angular texture through the finish. Flavors do not show much complexity or development, with mineral dominance on the finish 1989 Tastings coffee, dried berry
Tastings - 88 Details: Pale orange-gold color. Medium-bodied. Moderately extracted. roasted coffee, lemons, dried berry fruits. Mild roasted coffee aromas. Hints of dried berry fruits come through on the palate. Clean direct style with a lingering finish. Distinguished by an appealing mouthfeel 1988 Tastings

Wine Terms

Name Value
Champagne A region in France that makes wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. It is also the name of the world’s most famous sparkling wine. Although many winemakers outside of Europe can legally call their sparkling wine champagne, European Union regulations prevent any other member country from doing so.
France France is the standard bearer for all the world’s wines, with regard to the types of grapes that are used to make wine and with the system of defining and regulating winemaking. Its Appellation d’Origine Controlee, or AOC system, is the legislative model for most other European countries. Most French wines are named after places. The system is hierarchical; generally the smaller and more specific the region for which a wine is named, the higher its rank. There are four possible ranks of French wine, and each is always stated on the label: Appellation Contrôlée (or AOC), Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (or VDQS); Vin de pays, or country wine; and Vin de table. France has five major wine regions, although there are several others that make interesting wines. The three major regions for red wine are Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone; for white wines, the regions are Burgundy, the Loire and Alsace. Each region specialized in certain grape varieties for its wines, based on climate, soil, and local tradition. Two other significant French wine regions are Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon, both in the south of France. Cahors, in the southwest of the country, produces increasingly good wines.
Sparkling Wine Sparkling wines are part of a growing category of bubbly wines.
