Jen’s Notes

Champage is not France's only bubbly. Some, like this one, are also made in Burgundy. This one showed a gorgeous light pink color, and sweet rosy scents with a hint of apples. On the palate, the wine was slightly toasty, with zesty fruit underneath. It was a touch steely, with a slight fennel taste on the finish. It was quite nice, but I tend to prefer something fruitier (like the Chateau Ste. Michelle) or with more pronounced minerality (like the Dom Perignon).
