Vigorous with broad spectrum of flavors. Very fine mousse. Clean and delicate palate. From grand cru in Bouzy, with vines on average 35 year old. 80% PN and 20% Chard. Bought it on sale for less than $40.00. Will buy more. — 7 years ago

Third sparkling wine tasted at Champagne Henri Giraud. Thank you Mèlissa for the tour and all the information on your winemaking process.

Bright light yellow. Very fresh on the nose with some lavender, light green apples and citrus. High acidity (7.5/10) and medium plus weight. Fresh on the palate with some floral notes, citrus zest, and Granny Smith apples. Long and mouthwatering finish. Drink till 2025.

Aged for three years on the lees. 55% of the fruit comes from Äy and 45% from Montagne de Reims. — 8 years ago

Okay I’m a sparkling savant maybe I like simpler sparklers but DAMN I love the balance on this fool. If you need more maybe you should taste more and learn about nuance!
Ran into this in October at the San Francisco Wine Contest double gold tour. Took a bottle home to try when not already filled with samples...Holy hell F Champagne! I love CAVA. This is so balanced, so not obnoxiously overdone with brioche notes so...I have Spanish sparkling taste buds. Dry as f, with that whiff of...citrus/apple/pear/yeast/mineral lime everything? I LOVE CAVA! — 8 years ago

The balance - the finesse - the absolute beauty of this wine is beyond compare for my palate right now. Fell in love, and will hope to fall in love time and time again. Please buy this and enjoy this tour de force of a Champagne. — 10 years ago

Wow. I've never had a rose champagne like that. The subtle red fruit it gains from the Pinot is off the charts. Awesome to have this side by side with the blanc de blanc after the cave tour at Taittinger — 8 years ago

Tasted at the end of the Taittinger cellar tour - incredible! The extended lees aging really comes through on the pallet, rich and a little buttery. Also sees 5% oak aging for two weeks — 8 years ago

Juicy Grenache dominate aromas with red raspberry, strawberry and red cherry fruit. The nose has a nice herbal edge with notes of fresh and dried thyme plus a hint of soy. The wine has a plush mouthfeel with silky tannins. There is good acidity to buffer the fruit and a nice sense of minerality. — 9 years ago
