CHAMPAGNE REVIEWS

CHAMPAGNE REVIEWS

Champagne is considered the premier of sparkling wine. Sparkling wine production is attributed to the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in the south of France. The Benedictine monks developed the process known as the ‘methode champenoise’ which is somewhat complicated and results in the significantly high price for the bubbly champagne. Dom Perignon initially witnessed this and took this process to northern France, the Champagne region, to produce the finest sparkling beverage in the world.

Seeking a less expensive and more efficient way to make high quality sparkling wine, Frenchman Eugene Charmat and independently in Italy, Federico Martinotti discovered what is now known as the Charmat-Martinotti method. Looking for a faster and cheaper way to create quality sparkling wine, Frenchman Eugene Charmat and, separately in Italy, Federico Martinotti discovered what is now known as the Charmat-Martinotti method. In this procedure, the wine is transferred from its primary fermentation vat to a large sealed pressurized tank where it undergoes secondary fermentation to create the carbonation. Then the carbonated beverage is bottled and sent to market.

Sparkling wine is divided into four progressive levels of sweetness:

Extra Brut: This is the driest of the sparkling wine where essentially all the sugar is metabolized by the yeast giving a very dry wine

Brut: This wine is dry, but with a light taste of sweetness and is the most popular of the sparkling wines. Champagne is the most common sparkling wine to be labeled Brut.

Extra Dry: Extra Dry: This a dry sparkling wine with some slight sweetness. It is not as dry as Brut or Extra Brut. Prosecco is most often considered Extra Dry.

Demi-sec: This is the sweetest of the sparkling wine. Demi-sec is often served with dessert as a sweet compliment to luscious fare.

We have revealed some of the very finest French Champagnes for your ultimate indulgence. Please explore these Champagne Reviews and make a personal selection for your uttermost pleasure.

Dom Perignon 2008

This is a classic prestige Cuvee from the house of Moet & Chandon. The Wine Spectator score for this 2008 was 96 points. This 2008 is his best Dom Perignon vintage since 1990. This Dom Perignon is smooth and elegant Champagne with a strong acidity swathed in a fine, creamy mousse and flavors of toasted brioche, kumquat, pastry frost, candied ginger and poached plum that plunge across the palate with hints of smoky minerals. This has vibrant but controlled acidity and is above all a memorable symbiosis of mature fruit and salinity derived from top terroirs. The poised mouthfeel makes this a perfect gastronomic wine, strong enough for spicy Asian cuisine from the Pacific Rim, but still compatible with classics such as roast turbot and lobster.” the Dom Perignon 2008 is going to need a number of years before it is at its best. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give 2008 its chiseled, bright profile.

2009 Dom Pérignon

If you only know one name in Champagne, it is probably Dom Pérignon. What you may not realize is that Dom is a label, not a Champagne house. The wine is actually made by Möet & Chandon. It is named for a monk and cellar master who was a great Champagne innovator.

If you like the Dom Pérignon style, then 2009 is definitely a wine you’ll want to add to your collection. This Champagne offers an intensity of ripe, luscious fruit. Apples, lemons and mango dance gracefully across the palate in an elegantly ordered way. The wine lingers impressively long, leaving the lasting feeling that something special has just occurred. The Dom Perignon 2009 is an excellent choice.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2008 Brut Champagne

Originally produced in 1809 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and to this day it is still the ultimate Champagne.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it a perfect 100 points saying “This latest incarnation of the famous brand is a superb wine. It is on par with, maybe even better than, the already legendary 2002. Its balance is impeccable: Apple and citrus flavors working with the tight minerality to give a textured yet fruity wine. It has amazing potential and is likely to age for many years.

Its balance is impeccable: Apple and citrus flavors working with the tight minerality to give a textured yet fruity wine. The assemblage is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. This is so fresh and tense with extremely exuberant chardonnay notes on the nose of white peach, lemon, and yellow grapefruit. The yeast characters are also super fresh, and there are subtle woody notes, with a hint of vanilla bean and light spices. Pinot Noir is a strong core and the Chardonnay sits at the edge offering lemon and white nectarine sorbet flavors. Staggeringly concentrated, yet the balance makes it seem airy and light. Acidity is perfectly positioned.

Laurent Perrier Cuvee Rose Brut NV Champagne

 

Inspired by the times of French King Henri IV, Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier has become the most recognized rosé champagne in the world and is considered a benchmark for rosé champagne. The wine is made using nearly a dozen crus, most of them Grands Crus as well as special plots in the vineyards owned by Laurent-Perrier itself. The Pinot Noir grapes are selected for their perfect ripeness and manually sorted in Laurent-Perrier harvest stations. After the maceration process, the wine bottled and aged a minimum of four years in bottle before release. With 90+ scores across the board, Connoisseur’s Guide gave this wine 96 points saying “Elegant and fruity at the same time with a quick invitation from bright, pure cherryish notes and then filled out handsomely by whiffs of chalky soils and well-integrated, rich and uplifting yeast-driven scents, this wine manages to be both vigorous and layered at one and the same time. Its bubbles are insistent, finely carved, and add to the early sensations of lightness and energy yet also carry the wine long into a balanced, refined finish. And its latter palate grip is exactly what one should expect from the genre. While service with light foods would be our first choice, this one has the beauty to stand alone.”

2006 Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes d’Or Brut

Nicolas Feuillatte is one of the newest faces on the Champagne scene. The house was founded in 1976 but it quickly found a base of adoring fans. The winery offers very approachable and affordable Champagnes with great packaging.

Their tête de cuvée fits this profile perfectly. Far more affordable than most of the wines on our Best Prestige Champagnes list, the Palmes d’Or is an approachable wine but one with complexity — not to mention great packaging. The wine is almost worth it for just the bottle, which resembles a glass pineapple wrapped with gold. The Champagne tastes like something that should be drunk among the stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age at a secluded resort in the South of France.

It is polished, quietly complex with unending bubbles, and, if it stops short of showing the depth and dimension of the marquee bottlings of the famous French houses, it is by all measures an exceptional non-vintage Brut.

Wine Spectator scored this 92 points saying “Lithe and vibrant, this graceful Champagne is driven by well-knit, acidity, carrying flavors of ripe black cherry, grated ginger, toast point and mineral on the satiny mousse.

Many wine connoisseurs consider the 2007 Comtes Blanc de Blancs to be the greatest value tête de cuvée on the market right now. This Champagne is considered to be the ultimate elegance.

This wine is truly special. A Blanc de Blancs with both body and elegance, it begins with aromas of tropical fruits and baking spices. A weighty wine, it lingers on the palate with oily softness and ripe pineapple and passion fruit flavors rounded out by hints of anise.

This Champagne is the essence of structured, textured fruit but with the essential addition of age. Still hinting at the freshness and still textured, the wine is also rich with white-fruit flavors cut with limes.

Dom Ruinart lays claim to being the very first Champagne house. The house released its first prestige cuvée in 1959 and since that time, their tête de cuvée has consistently made critics’ shortlists.

The 2006 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut is simply fabulous. The 2006 has plenty of textural resonance and richness. An elegant Blanc de Blancs, this is a pale wine with delicate floral aromas. It has a fine mousse and bubbles that cross the tongue as smoothly as silk. It offers a medley of citrus and stone fruit flavors with an underlying green note. Its acidity keeps it surprisingly fresh but the wine lingers pleasantly on the palate.

2005 Charles Heidsieck Vintage Brut

CHAMPAGNE REVIEWS - 2005 Charles Heidsieck Brut Champagne

 

Charles Heidsieck was one of the most famous vintners of his time. A great salesman with a huge personality, he truly did things in his own fashion. His wines were definitely distinctly “Heidsieck,” and the winery has continued the style in his tradition.

Charles Heidsieck’s Prestige wine offers a more affordable experience than many of the great houses. The 2005 was a particularly good vintage for this house and this wine in particular. It is a rich, complex wine with mouthwatering apple and peach flavors. Notes of flint, spice, sourdough toast and lemon acidity add complexity. The wine delivers superb refinement in its complex bouquet of apple, pain grillé, pear, a touch of hazelnut, complex soil tones, and a gently smoky topnote. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with outstanding depth at the core, bright acids, very elegant mousse, and a very long, vibrant and classic finish.

Irish Whiskey Reviews

Irish Whiskey Reviews

To start, what exactly Irish Whiskey? Simply, Irish Whiskey is whiskey made on the island of Ireland. The word ‘whiskey’ (or whisky) comes from the Irish (or ‘Gaelic’) uisce beatha, meaning water of life. These Irish Whiskey Reviews will highlight the qualities and characteristics of some of the most outstanding Irish Whiskeys.

Please appraise these fine whiskeys and make a selection for delivery to your door

Ireland produces four types of whiskey in total including malt, grain, blended, and pot still. Of those, only pot still is truly unique to Ireland.

Pot Still Whiskey: By Irish law pot still whiskey must contain a minimum of 30 percent each malted and unmalted barley in its mash bill. Up to 5 percent of other cereals such as oats and rye are also permitted. As the name suggests, this style is distilled in pots stills. Pot still must age for a minimum of three years in oak before release.

Malt: Irish Single Malt whiskey is aged in oak for at least three years, and must be distilled from a mash of nothing other than malted barley at a single distillery.

Grain: Grain Irish whiskey is made using no more than 30% malted barley in combination with other whole unmalted cereals including usually corn, wheat, or barley and is distilled in column stills.

Blended: is the product of blending different types of whiskeys and sometimes also neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. It is generally the product of mixing one or more higher-quality straight or single malt whiskey with less expensive spirits and other ingredients.

The popular topics in Irish whiskey these days are cask finishing, single malts, and single pot still whiskey. These are not new to the Irish whiskey industry, but the Irish distilleries are reinvigorating the category by releasing whiskey in these styles.

Climate is Important to be Irish Whiskey

One of the most important ingredients in Irish whiskey is the climate. The climate in Ireland differs from the traditional whiskey producing areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Scotland. The maturation process in these different climates makes these whiskeys what they are. This unique character makes Irish whiskey appealing to drinkers of all types. The hot topics in Irish whiskey these days are cask finishing, single malts, and single pot still whiskey. These unique characters make Irish whiskey appealing to drinkers of all types.

The Whiskey:

Redbreast Irish Whiskey is a highly respected brand that has age statements of 12, 15, and 21 years in its core lineup, as well as cask strength and sherry cask-finished versions. It’s a single pot still whiskey, which means that it’s made from a mash bill of malted and unmalted barley and distilled in a pot still instead of a column still at one distillery.

Redbreast Small Batch, a limited edition release consisting of four different expressions that were matured for a minimum of 14 years (there is no age statement on the label, however). It is bottled at cask strength, ranging from about 57 to 59 percent ABV, depending on the batch. This is a one-time release. The Small Batch is different from the original with the marrying together whiskey to make four batches, each of which they describe as offering different flavors while still staying true to the character that defines Redbreast. The object was to make a whiskey that was reflective of Redbreast, but with each batch emphasizing different flavor profiles.

Some whiskey used was aged in bourbon barrels, and some in sherry casks, before being married together in these different formulations with each batch being made up of somewhere between 22 and 27 barrels.

The Tasting:

Batch A: A wood is driven with sweet vanilla notes, citrus fruit, and mild sherry undertones and with 58.6% ABV. This batch was meant to emphasize flavors derived from bourbon barrel maturation.

Batch B: This added depth from sherry wine cask influence, including more dried fruits and honey sweetness with 57.2% ABV. This batch was meant to emphasize sherry cask maturation without letting it dominate the palate.

Bourbon Reviews

Bourbon Reviews

What is Bourbon?

Bourbon is the Great American Spirit. All bourbon is American whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon is defined by a U. S Federal decree.

  • It must be made in the United States. Many people believe bourbon should only be made in Kentucky.
  • The grain composition of bourbon must be at least 51% corn.
  • Bourbon must be produced at not more than 80 percent alcohol (160 proof).
  • Bourbon must be stored in charred new oak containers at no more than 62.5 percent (125 proof).

Bourbon has progressed with significant more criteria to characterize this beverage

Bourbon Whiskey: Whiskey produced in the U.S. at not exceeding 80 percent alcohol by volume (160 proof) from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent of corn and stored at not more than 62.5 percent alcohol by volume (125 proof) in charred new oak containers.”

Straight Bourbon Whiskey: Bourbon whiskey stored in charred new oak containers for at least two years. ‘Straight bourbon whiskey’ may include mixtures of two or more straight bourbon whiskeys provided all the whiskeys are produced in the same state.

Bottled in Bond: The spirit must be the product of one distillation season by one distiller at one distillery. It must have been stored in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years and be bottled at 100 proof. The bottled product’s label must identify the distillery where it was distilled and bottled.

Sour Mash: A fermentation technique used by almost all bourbon distillers that employ pre-fermented mash from previous distilling into a new mash. The sour mash prevents wild yeast from entering the mash and causing contamination.

Proof: The percentage of alcohol, displayed as double that of the alcohol by volume (ABV).

High Rye: A bourbon with a higher than normal percentage of mash bill made up of rye (as opposed to using more corn, wheat, or barley, the other main grains used in bourbon mash). This tends to produce spicier flavors in the bourbon.

Wheated: A bourbon with a higher than normal percentage of mash bill made up of wheat (the main grain remains corn). This tends to produce a softer, less spicy whiskey.

Small Batch: A subjective term signaling a bourbon made using a select number of barrels or recipes in a blended bottling.

Single Barrel: A bourbon made using single barrels, providing a higher range of variation in flavor, and the chance at specific, unique characteristics.

Non-Distiller Producers (NDP): Companies that purchase their whiskey from someone else rather than making it themselves. This may be common in blended bourbons.

These Bourbon Reviews will cover the fine bourbons available highlighting their qualities and characteristics allowing the customer to formulate an educated decision to select

Bourbon is great for any occasion. Bourbon can be enjoyed as neat or on the rocks or can be used in a wide variety of traditional cocktails.

ABV: 53.5%

Proof: 107

There’s a richness from the present-yet-subtle oak next to a nutty toffee essence. Caramel and vanilla come together with sharp spice, toasted oak, wild florals, and orchard fruit.
