TASTING CHAMPAGNE WINES

Look closely, smell and taste.
 
Pour the Champagne so that the glasses are only half full.

Don’t forget to look at the colour, admire the different shades of gold or pink. Watch the bubbles dancing - light, lively, generous, …

Then inhale its bouquet, slowly and at length, and then start again.

Do you recognise aromas of fruits or flowers, or richer smells like hot rolls, vanilla, spices?

Finally, taste the wine.

Keep it in your mouth for a few seconds. Start again.

You will not only find the aromas you have identified with your nose but you will also uncover the true nature of your Champagne: smooth or full-bodied, delicate or complex..
