Name: George Cartier

Country: Épernay, France
Vintage: NV

Critic Review: Straw color. Aromas and flavors of lemon
curd, brioche, cashew, and wet stone with a supple, lively,
effervescent, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a seamless,
charming, medium-long finish with nuances of orange custard and apple
with no oak flavor. A vibrant mouthwatering, fruit-driven Champagne
perfect for any occasion. -Tastings.com
Wine Folly: pg. 94 I was able to get a bit of the citrus notes and the price matched with what the book states. pg. 95 the region has notes of mushroom which I was not able to find but thought it was an interesting descriptor.
My Review: Wow! This was the first time I had tried champagne and it was really good!! I found that it had some tropical notes which sounds kind of odd, but I thought it had notes of pineapple. It was light and the tingle of the bubbles were extremely coated the mouth to allow all the flavors to be introduced. Overall this wine was a special treat that I may have at the next special occasion!
I did not pair it with any food!
p.s. My family was in town for Easter and we all enjoyed this wine!
