WineEnthusiast - 93 Details: The famous Belle Epoque bottle design is based on a 1902 bottle of Emile Gallé. Today's blend of this prestige cuvée is a fine balance between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crisp and fresh in a ripe, mature aperitif style. It is lively but complex, showing some toasty flavors to complement the rich, ripe green fruit tastes. Great balance and elegace. 1996 WineEnthusiast
WineEnthusiast - 91 Details: Opens with young, powerful aromas of freshly baked bread crust, mushroom and lime, and then blasts onto the palate. The bold green apple flavors are intense, and wrapped in lively acids that make this Champagne crisp and agreeable now, as well as eminently ageable. 1996 WineEnthusiast green apple, lime, mushroom
WineEnthusiast - 92 Details: Opens with a lovely bouquet of mild, sweet spice and vanilla aromas. This is light-footed but lusciously textured and flavored, with apricot, lemon and pear notes. The palate feel is refined with very good bead—almost weightless—yet not at all insubstantial. Closes with a long, dry lime and herb fade. 1995 WineEnthusiast apricot, herb, lemon, lime, pear, spice, vanilla
WineEnthusiast - 90 Details: Quite delicate herb, lime, mineral and smoke aromas on the nose open to a full yet still lean mouth of bright citrus and herb flavors. The P-J style tends to lightness, and this is a fine rendering, with great balance and nice body. Lovely and crisp, like a crunchy Granny Smith apple. Good acidity; drink now or hold. 1995 WineEnthusiast apple, citrus, herb, herb flavors, lime, mineral, smoke

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.
Brut A French term meaning "crude" or "raw". Used widely for sparkling wines to indicate one that tastes bone dry. Particularly dry wines may also be labelled brut natur(e).
Sparkling Wine Sparkling wines are part of a growing category of bubbly wines.
