 A delicate, expressive version, offering fine texture and well-knit acidity, with a smoky, mineral-tinged base note and flavors of wild strawberry, black cherry, biscuit, gumdrop, grated ginger and coconut. Drink now through 2020.  (12/ 2012)

90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

 Bright yellow. Aromas of fresh pear and honey, with zesty mineral and lemon accents. Fleshy and smooth on entry, then firmer in the middle, with good depth and intensity to its orchard fruit and candied citrus flavors. Clings nicely on the finish, which features suave floral and mineral qualities. This cuvee, often referred to as "Gold Label" or "Cachet d'Or," has been gaining in quality in recent years.  (12/ 2011)

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
