Jacquart NV Champagne “Mosaique” Brut, France 92 Points

Winery Notes: “Pale yellow with tints of white gold and a stream of fine bubbles. Aromas of fresh pear, fig and almond, with hints of orange blossom. A light swirl of the glass brings out richer notes of honey and freshly baked bread. Fresh and supple. Full, with a long fruity finish. Serve as an aperitif or with fish or cheese.

Tasting Notes: Rich, featuring an undertow of smoke and roasted nut mixing with flavors of black currant, lemon meringue pie and ground ginger, with a hint of honeycomb. Refined in texture and framed by well-knit acidity, with a lasting, mineral-tinged finish.”

Wine Spectator 92 Points. : “This well-balanced Champagne is enlivened by bright, juicy acidity, with notes of ripe cantaloupe and yellow peach, biscuit and lemon-infused pastry cream. Zesty finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.”

James Suckling 91 Points: “A flavorful and layered NV with sliced apple, pear and mineral character. Hint of green melon, too. Medium body with cherry and strawberry flavors and a citrus aftertaste. Crisp at the end. Straightforward. Chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Drink now.”
