No notes. Friend’s 47th bday celebration. Memorable for the pretty fruit: custard, star fruits, & green grapes.

When La Veuve is on, she’s on. The toastiness, fruit and balance are all impeccable.

This entry-level Champagne is always nice to begin the evening with.

Medium plus in body with medium plus sized bubbles and high acidity.

Showing citrus, lemons, limes, earth, black pepper, minerals and light yeast.

Tangy finish with limes and light almonds.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Very consistent through the years.

12% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$48.

No complaints here...archetypal for a reason.

Crisp, tiny bubbles, yeast and lemon zest on the palette. Lovely!

Received as a gift. Green apple, quince, slight toast and bright acid. Gotta say, it’s nice, but not really exciting. I think the mass production has taken away from the quality. Lots of great Cava could win me over instead.

This was in my cellar for already quite some time (6+Year) but still fresh apples a bit of toast and yeast. Slightly matured tones. But a great glass for a celebration.

Having a champagne Sunday. Pouring the good stuff.

Straw color, very tiny bubbles, citrus and yeast taste. Not sweet, dry finish.

Product of France. This is one of our favorites.
