From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!!!! Please let me know what you think of the champagne..

Had the rose’ a couple of days ago and it was fantastic. This extra brut is so amazing, the aromas are fantastic. I think the next bottle goes with some nice sashimi.

Francis Orban Extra brut. the color is amazing. a 4K camera with a $2000 lens still didn't do it justice. it is beautiful! thank you leaving a comment and watching my reviews>

I can live with that. 3/4 days a week still equals champagne every day. Thank you for watching to the end. What did you think of the video?

Yes my friend. Pour the champagne into the glass. Watch the foam. The instant and I mean the instant you see it begin to go down, be free and pour the rest. It's magic. Totally magic.

No my friend it is not. The glass is a "grand Cru" glass. It is larger that a Tulip, but smaller that say a Burgundy glass. I'm a supertaster, for me I need a lot of something to be able to sift through all the flavors, notes and hints I get. You would think I need a little of something, but I need a lot. I'm a student of the more more modern ideology toward Champagne. It is at its heart a wine. a white wine. so technically, yes, it is a white wine glass. But so are all "Champagne" glasses. In many ways I'm very traditional when it comes to Champagne. I've used every type of glass and for tasting (not drinking, there is a difference), this glass works best for me. when I drink to enjoy it, I will use something like the Riedel Dom Perignon Champagne Glass, or one of my Zwiesel Champagne glass. thank yo so much for posting. Any feedback you have would be great so please let me know what you think I can do better?

Hi. I love sparkling wine. in fact, the Schramsberg in my opinion is pound for pound just as good as any Grand Cru Champagne. I do drink Sparkling wines. Long story short, everyday bubbly is part of our larger company. we became "the Champagne Company" last year. the Champagne company is the importation , disruption and brand representation/ambassador side of the business. since you asked, I will be happy to do a review of the Schramsberg J. Schram Noirs when I get my hands on it. give me a few weeks as we are moving to a new recording studio with some professional direction and production. We have about 5-6 shoots in the que, ill make this happen! thank you your support and for leaving a comment!!

I know right.. I had just gotten them and was still getting accustomed to them. The next review, Berèche et Fils Brut Reserve ill sound better. Thank you for leaving me a comment, people like you make it so enjoyable. Champagne is my entire world these days. I do have a "day job", but as a importer and distributor and content creator it's a full time job. And I love every second of it. What's your favorite champagne?

Thank you. I'm not a huge Rose fan. this one was just amazing. I have 2 in my cellar. I'm ageing them to see how a macerated Rose ages. congratulations on your anniversary !!!

You are too kind. Thank you!! May I ask what champagne you would like to see me review? If I can get it, I would love to review something for you

@@thechampagneco Hi, if you are still on for this, I would love to see a review of the Louis Roederer Collection 244, if you have the chance at some point! Thank you for the kind offer and all the best!

Hello. I have not forgotten at all, I will get this one done probably middle of the next month. Not to make it sound like it's that big of a problem, but I have well over 150 individual champagnes I need to review. Then I decide which ones going to do a video on. And then I decide which ones I'm going to sell lol. It's an awesome problem to have, but I promised to do that review for you and I look forward to getting it done and having your thoughts.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support and you leaving a comment.

It is amazing. Totally changed my perspective. I have 4 more from Èlèonore to review. I'm the exclusive importer for Èlèonore. If you tell me what the nearest liquor store is to you, I'm more than happy to reach out to them and see if they are interested in carrying it. If you want, drop me an email: dsanders@lechampagneco.com

I just uploaded a new review for Maurice Choppin. I'm also the exclusive importer for them as well. Have a look at the review

Ok, yes they are a NM. NM Stands for Négociant-Manipulant, it means that a winemaker or a company elaborates champagne in its own cellars : the vinification, the blending and sales. Grapes are sourced from the vine of the Domaine, or can be bought entirely or partially to winemakers. There are 250 Négociant-Manipulant in Champagne, among them the most famous Maisons de Champagne which control 50% of the market. The difference here between a NM and a RM is choice. Bernard has the choice to buy grapes. They however do not. They are a grower producer who has several lines of business other that the production of champagne. For example, during my visit I doriced he has 4 presses and large trucks coming in and out. I asked him about it, he does pressing for sourounding houses as a additional business. Because of this and the possibility of some grapes getting mixed is one reason for the NM class. keep in mind he produces over 2 million bottles a year. He is a great man with a massive vision. Soon, I believe he is going to join the ranks of the Big boys. I assure you that he grows 100% of his grapes and is a True grower producer

Thank you for the prompt reply. Yes, I was aware if the NM/RM designation, hence my confusion. Thank you for your detailed response and clarification. @@thechampagneco

@@boba2281 sorry if I blabbed too much. I really just love talking about Champagne..

No need to ever apologize for being passionate.

Hey thanks for the comment. I have to tell you, all of their champagnes are absolutely incredible. I have had the Blanc de Blanc extra brute, I just haven't gotten around to doing a review on it. It is absolutely magnificent. It's going to have an incredible acidity, with a beautiful fruit after note, all of Bernard's champagnes are just stellar. Enjoy it please let me know what you thought of it because I'm always interested in hearing what people think about champagnes that I review and have relationships with. Looking forward to hearing from you. And thank you again for your comment

Will do. I'm really anxious to try it now that I know you have tasted it and found it to be "magnificent". Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my comment.@@thechampagneco

Lol. Don't be. It's a amazing expression of his Chardonnay. He takes direct control over everything and you'll taste it. I would recommend chilling it just a pinch on the cooler side and experience it as it warms up a little. I find his BdB has a complexity that requires tasting it through the full range of temperatures. You will be shocked at it's sweetness for a extra brute.

I agree. The tulip is not only a beautiful glass, it is ideal for general champagne consumption. The only reason I use that big Grand Cru glass, primarily because it looks better on camera, but also because when I drink champagne, I tend to drink a lot lol. In about 4 or 5 weeks, I'm going to be doing my third installment on glasses covering the tulips. Which ones are your personal favorites?

@@thechampagnecohow about some sparkling wine Riedel glasses? :) I’m curious if the “performance” sparkling wine glass gives a different experience vs the “veloce” sparkling wine glass.

I would say this is a solid 6. 100% worth the money and the experience. I’ve been exploring the Maurice Choppin and the Eleonore ranges; we are now the US importer for these houses, and these really kick things up a notch. But yes, a solid 6. For me any Champagne between 5-7 is going to be great. I would say the only weakness with the Philipponnat would be lack of malolactic acid. You will get a wonderful blast of sweet bread and a soft mouth feel, but the Pinot in it needed a bit more softness to round it out more. Perhaps it’s just a matter of preference, but I think it’s lacking in that area. Still a great Champagne! Next week I’m reviewing the Eleonore GAGEURE 22. Thank you so much for asking a question and for your support!

Thank you so much for the support. And kind words about the content. I love what I do and if I can give only one person some enjoyment then that's all I need. . Please always feel free to reach out if you ever need champagne help or have a question about a champagne you're interested in.

Thank you for the reply. Will certainly tap your expertise for anything “Champagne” Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the comment. With regards to that Josephine glass, I have one. I'm going to be doing another review in a few weeks covering the tulips. And the Josephine will be front and center. Thanks for the support, it really means a lot when people take the time to leave a comment. If there's any topic or champagne or product you would ever like me to review, let me know.

Hello Manuella..Thank you so much for watching my videos. And even more, thank you for reaching out about the glasses. The 4th glass is a beauty! It is a light glass, yet it is surprisingly robust. It is the dom pérignon champagne glasses by Riedel. It can be found at Williams-Sonoma for $35.00 per glass- www.williams-sonoma.com/products/riedel-dom-perignon-champagne-glass/ And Total Wine & More for 34.99 per glass - www.totalwine.com/accessories-more/accessories/glassware/champagne-glasses/riedel-dom-perignon-champagne-glass-single/p/234405920 I just looked and both have them in stock. These are rare and hard to find, but these two places have them. Just so you know, we are the US brand rep for Lehmann Glass out of Reims. Hand blown Champagne glasses for Champagne, from Champagne. We will have them in stock later this year. But the dom pérignon champagne glasses by Riedel is a total beauty and one you should grab! Enjoy and thank you again for your support.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you! it was one of my best!

All extremely good points. It was a little longer than I wanted. Good feedback. I have gotten some feedback on the length of the intro. So I will be shortening it up. And I do appreciate the idea of the timestamps. I'll be incorporating those two. also I do like the idea of incorporating content regarding it being an investment. You definitely got me thinking. Your thoughts on the music, are you suggesting I get rid of the music all together, or just tone down the volume?

@@dws1231 maybe just have music in different segments of the video like you’re monyshots and when you taste the champagne 🥂 but yeah maybe it’s just me but love this so i subbed looking forward to more

I'll get you a list tomorrow. I have a few secret houses to share with you

@@thechampagneco please do! Thanks!

Paul Bara in Bouzy, and Dosnon in the Aube, I emailed them and asked for a tour. They both treated us like rock stars. Email your favorite houses, they may say yes.

this time of year many houses sort of take a break. the end of harves inbetween wine making and belnding is a goot time. I would hit Avize. go see my friend Dominique the owner of Champagne Bouquin-Dupont! tell him you live caps (he'll know what you mean). also De Sousa in Avize. Champagne Pascal Walczak les riceys just north of aube. go see my 2 dear friends in Claudette owner of Champagne Claude Thuillier, and my friend Max of Champagne Oudiette, bothe in beaunay. and if you can go see Bastien of champagne yves jacques in Baye

YOUR GOING TO LOVE THEM. I got them to try and i was a fan with the opening of the bottle!

Thank you!!!!

yes - Pan-fried Duck Foie Gras, soft cheese such as Brie. It’s a perfect pair to fish dishes and beef. keep it lite and fresh. there’s enough acid to cut through most things but keep it fresh and not to rich!

I thought it to be more fun by poking fun at myself. Can’t take everything so seriously. Champagne deserves respect, and Marc Hebrart Cuvée de Reserve Brut, doubly so. But at the end of the day, the content was sound, and I took a few jabs at myself along the way. Mistakes show that only by getting things wrong can we learn to get the right. For me, I learned to never make that mistake again

i a look at who imports Paul Bara. the only importer I found is in Oregon. trying to get my hands on a bottle. sneek peek - the next review is Fleury Fleur de L'Europe. then a 6 part series on Champagne Pascal Walczak!

Thank you 😊. It's good to be back. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for the support. When I do these reviews, all I really care about is keeping people entertained and knowledgeable on the wonderful world of champagne. When it comes to glasses, don't get too hung up on the size and shape. What really matters is does the glass give you the ability to get your nose into it to get the bouquet. Does the glass obscure the color in any way meaning it's not perfectly clear. The reason I stick with Crystal is because Crystal comes out well Crystal clear. And that allows me to see the champagne and be able to gather some of the nuances and its composition. I do tend to stay away from glassware that has metallic rims, even though they're supposed to be non-reactive, they are. That being said, when I first started my journey in Champaign I was drinking it out of a white wine glass. And truth be told the difference between drinking it out of us a regular white wine glass and the difference between drinking it out of a true dedicated champagne tasting glass is negligible. However keep in mind that the big difference is in Champaign are subtle. Sorry to ramble on, I just love talking about champagne and champagne glasses. I would recommend the riddle as a good overall champagne glass. Or any white wine glass that has a less rounded bowl the shape to it.
