Wow. I could listen to you all day long.
Thank you.
An informative concise video to help me understand the basics with enough detail for further reading.
Glad this helped!
Thanks Jacky! Love your knowledge :-)
Thanks for watching Lea!
Excellent video! I enjoyed learning about Champagne!
Thanks Eric! Glad you liked it.
Thanks for info!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I enjoy watching your every videos. What kind of champagne/sparkling glasses do you recommend? Some say thin flute sparkling wine glasses are better than tulip shaped sparkling wine glasses in terms of visual beauty, temperature and keeping bubbles, especially if you are drinking entry level NV champagne. Others say tulip glasses are better so wine can show all of its flavors. I love bubbles so it's quite confusing me.
Hi Terry, thanks for watching! It is indeed confusing and sommeliers often disagree on this point. Overall, we are seeing a shift towards larger, tulip shaped sparkling wine glasses to allow better aromatic and flavour development. Flutes glasses may hold the bubbles better, but in the time it takes to drink a glass of bubbly (even if you are sipping quite slowly), you generally don't have to worry about bubbles dissipating. If that is a concern though, my advice would be to pour smaller amounts leaving the rest of the bottle chilling with a Champagne stopper to preserve the effervescence.
@@JackyBlisson Thank you for your reply! Can I kindly ask what specific sparkling wine glasses would you recommend? I was considering to buy Ridel Veritas Champagne glasses or Ridel Performance Champagne glasses but I was not sure will they shine sparkling wine.
now that I'm expert in champagne, please bring me a beer.
🤣

I enjoy watching your video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I really appreciate it
I have a question :)
Could you tell me what the difference is between toasty and yeasty when we talk about Champagne? :)
Is this the same term or a different term?
Thank you so much
Hi Ethan. Thanks for your kind comments! Yeasty notes on Champagne are linked to the breaking down of the yeast cells once they have completed a second fermentation in the bottle (a process called autolysis). Bakery type aromas like baker's yeast, biscuits, brioche, fresh baked bread are linked with this. Long ageing "on the lees" (these spent/decomposing yeast cells) also gives finer, smoother bubbles and a creamy texture to the mid-palate. Toasty notes are linked to oak ageing. Some Champagne base wines (ie. Krug) are fermented and briefly aged in oak barrels before being bottled for the second fermentation. Toasty notes literally refer to the toasting of the oak barrel - which releases the aromatic & flavour compounds from the wood (lactones). Toasty notes cover a range of aromas & flavours from the literal smell of wood (think split logs) to roasted nuts or coffee. Other aromas from barrel ageing include vanilla and baking spice.

You are the best Master of Wine !! :)
@@ethanhunt8978 Thanks very much for your kind words.
What do you think about rose?
I love pink Champagne! It is generally a little fuller in body than other Champagne styles but gives lovely red berry notes. It is perfect with salmon sushi.
Couid you say more off the taste from the bottles in front of you
Would love to choose a bottle in store , the info you give is top but not enough to know what to buy
It all depends on the style you are looking for... If you like lean, crisp, ultra dry sparkling wine look for zero dosage. Drappier makes a good, reasonably affordable one. If you like a richer, rounder, fruitier style, look for a brut dosage. There are loads of choices here - best to check with store staff.
