Where It's From
Region / Champagne
View more wines from Champagne
Bring on the bubbly! Perhaps no other wine region in the world has the name recognition of Champagne, to the point where people often mistakenly use the word "Champagne" to describe any sparkling wine. Yet only wines produced within the region can legally be called "Champagne," and to this day it produces some of the finest sparkling wines known to earth.
Country / France
The French did not invent winemaking. They simply perfected it. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder; wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more.
Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy.

A harmonious Champagne, with well-knit, mouthwatering acidity, offering hints of bread dough and spun honey that enrich flavors of black cherry, salted almond and preserved lemon. Not a powerhouse, but this shows good focus while remaining fine and creamy in texture. The minerally finish shows hints of smoke and oyster shell. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now. (Alison Napjus)
An elegant version, fine and creamy in texture and backed by lively, orange peel acidity. A streak of smoke-tinged minerality underscores flavors of almond madeleine, poached pear, anise and preserved lemon. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now. (Alison Napjus)
This is showing aromas of apricots, grapefruit, pears and short crust. Some walnuts, too. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and tasty nut and pie crust notes at the end. Blend of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. 24 months on the lees. Tasted from a magnum bottle. Drink now. (James Suckling)
Bright and balanced, featuring a fine, lively bead, mouthwatering acidity and a lightly toasty profile of poached pear and black currant flavors, with rich hints of lemon curd and pastry cream. Drink now through 2020. (Alison Napjus)
Tart red-fruit scents give this a vinous profile, fragrant with cranberry, root vegetables and ginger. It finishes clean, with cool limestone minerality. Cellar this for a year to let the flavors develop further.
Well balanced, this Champagne, even with its enormous production, remains a benchmark and is always enjoyable. In this bottling, ripe white fruit is cut with citrus, with an edge of toastiness that gives complexity. Drink now.
Based on the challenging 2017 vintage, the current release of Moët & Chandon’s NV Brut Imperial was disgorged with seven grams dosage (representing a reduction of around 50% in the last 20 years) and contains an unusually high proportion of reserve wines. Offering up aromas of pear, peach and citrus oil mingled with hints of fresh bread and white flowers, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with racy acids and an enveloping core of fruit, complemented by a pinpoint mousse and concluding with a nicely defined finish. Impressively seamless, it’s a fine rendition of one of Champagne’s largest bottlings. (William Kelley)

A good benchmark for a sweeter Champagne. In fact, not extravagantly sweet, because the fruit remains fresh, giving pear and apricot flavors, and a pure line in fresh acidity.
Lightly sweet, with ripe apple, honey and candied citrus peel flavors. It’s round and accessible, with a fresh finish. For fans of the style. Drink now.
Yellow-gold with a faint peach skin tinge. Peach, nectarine and spun sugar on the nose. Lush, creamy flavors of sweet pit fruits and melon are deepened by notes of honey and nougat. A touch of orange peel lifts this sappy, off-dry wine, which finishes on a slightly syrupy note. This is easier to drink and less cloying than many examples of sweet Champagne.

A reserve-wine blend that delivers a complex and savory style with a wealth of pastry, brioche and smoothly arranged citrus fruit. Fresh and dry. This is still fruit-focused but super crisp. Blend of 1988, 1996, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Drink now.
A new approach for this producer, this Champagne is almost dry and has also had six years’ aging before release. The result is a taut, nervy and well-structured wine that is wonderfully crisp. Great acidity and citrus flavors add to the effect. Drink now.
Dominique Demarville created this blend from Clicquot’s collection of reserve wines; this first release blends wines from 1988, 1996, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The older wines give it shadings of toasted wheat and oxidative yeasty autolysis while the freshness of the younger vintages brings briskness to its almond and hazelnut flavors. It’s chalky, naked and clean. (Disgorged 6/17)
A mouthwatering version, with a delicate bead and a minerally streak of chalk and saline accents underscoring the poached pear, chopped hazelnut and black currant notes. Disgorged June 2017. Drink now through 2022.

A very creditable contribution to what has become an unfashionable genre is Piper-Heidsieck’s NV Demi-Sec Cuvée Sublime, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of honeyed peaches, fresh pastry, nectarine and caramelized citrus. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a precise finish that avoids any suggestion of cloying sweetness despite its off-dry style. Expect it to sing with additional bottle age. (William Kelley)
A dessert wine with sweet vanilla flavors, wrapped around nutty, oily flavors. Fruit is not the object here; it’s more decadent, with unctuous, sweet and lingering vanilla and Bourbon-barrel accents.
Toasted marshmallow and coconut accents impart rich and smoky character to this finely balanced demi-sec, with flavors of pear tart and lemon parfait. Fine and creamy in texture, showing mouthwatering, citrusy acidity throughout. Drink now through 2019.

A minerally version with a lively bead, this features flavors of preserved lemon, charred toast, poached apricot and lemon thyme. Juicy, spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now. 20,000 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)
Flavors of poached pear, candied lemon zest and biscuit, with a rich hint of roasted almond, ride the lively bead of this crisp, minerally Champagne. Drink now through 2018. 15,000 cases imported.
This must be one of the most familiar nonvintage Champagnes, so it’s good to be able to report that it is much improved. The dosage has been lowered, and there is considerable freshness, crispness with apple and toast. It is full-bodied but well balanced.
This most familiar of nonvintage Champagnes has been improving each year. While it retains enough dosage to be easily drinkable, its acidity and crisp texture allied to the citrus element make for a sophisticated, attractive wine. Drink this bottling now.
Light gold. Buttered apple and pear aromas, with hints of anise and brioche. Medium in weight, with a silky texture and sweet orchard fruit flavors framed by gentle acidity. Broad and rich on the finish, with a lingering note of sweet butter.

Mouthwatering acidity drives this sleek rosé Champagne, with juicy star fruit and raspberry flavors riding the lively mousse, accented by hints of pastry, orange peel, smoke and dried herb. Drink now.
Dark, vivid pink. Ripe red berries, rose oil and tangerine on the nose, plus a subtle note of toasty lees. Bitter cherry and berry skin flavors give way to softer raspberry in the middle, with a tangy blood orange nuance adding cut and lift. Packs a punch but shows very good clarity and delineation, finishing round, smooth and quite long.
Pale pink. Delicate, racy aromas of flowers and spicy red berries. Focused, even tight, with tart red fruit flavors enlivened by tangy acidity. This is one of the driest versions of this wine I can recall. Finishes brisk and clean, with a lingering impression of white peach.
Rather fruity, with scents of cherries and peaches that come together in a round, easy-to-drink style. A little simple, perhaps, but this is a clean, fresh sparkler that won’t disappoint.
