The Champagne region, known for its sparkling wines, boasts illustrious houses such as Krug, Dom Pérignon, and Moët & Chandon, as well as grower-producers like Pierre Péters and Jacques Selosse. These vineyards create exceptional sparkling wines using the traditional method, offering a symphony of delicate bubbles, elegant flavors, and vibrant acidity.
In the Rhône Valley, iconic vineyards like Chapoutier, E.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)Expressive aromas of grilled meat, black raspberry, spicy cherry, smoke and tobacco. Lovely sweetness in the mouth; fruit flavors are more red than black. This is generous for a '94, but the tannins are not as silky-smooth as those in the '95. Intriguing smoke and maple sugar flavor on the finish. |
