This is an over-soft wine, without real bite or crispness. It is pleasantly creamy, with almond flavors and a full mousse, but the soft character continues right through to the finish. 1 Note

A Champagne that combines both light, floating softness and a firm, tight streak of minerality. Apple and grapefruit flavors come through in a wine that is just beginning to show the real richness of the year. 1 Note

This is only just rosé, its onion skin color as pale as possible. The wine has some red fruit flavors, but it is more about toast, yeast and a lively, smooth finish. Worth considering with salamis or ham, as well as salmon. 1 Note

Owned by the Chancel family (whose main holdings are in the Lubéron in southern France), this small Champagne house has made an exceptional 1997. It is now reaching maturity, with all its elements in balance, rich but satisfyingly dry, with toast and intense structure and acidity. 1 Note

It’s a full, creamy mouthful of ripe almonds and apricots, but given maturity by a fine layer of toast and grilled bread. There is a definite yeastiness here, layered over the balancing acidity. 1 Note

Already a touch toasty, this is not as searingly dry as some Zéro Dosage Champagnes. Mind you, there is no doubt it is dry, the crisp apple, grapefruit and taut structure all confirming that. In the end, though, it has weight along with lively acidity. 1 Note

Just approaching toasty maturity, this is a rich and full wine, its white fruits and perfumes floating above yeast, cookie and pine nut flavors. It has a great mouthfeel, a tingling character, acidity and richness in harmony. 1 Note

Almonds and toasted bread combine with lemon and honey flavors in this well-balanced off-dry wine. The acidity reminds you this is Champagne, while keeping fruit and softness right up front. 1 Note
