The history of Champagne dates back to the early 17th century, when the region was first planted with vines.

Decent but unremarkable Champagne tasting in Oslo, with a soft evenness of fruit, acidity, and minerality. The soft, pastry-like flavors and light citrus add a touch of sweetness, while the medium+ follow through is satisfying. Overall, a solid recommendation for those craving a reliable, if unexciting, Champagne option.

Detailed and thought provoking champagne with a subtle citrus and green fruit bouquet, accompanied by a yeasty and brioche-like aroma. As it develops, a opulent and nutty walnut and nutty aroma emerges, becoming even more pronounced after a few minutes. This may be linked to the temperature, which seems to enhance the intensity of the aroma. The overall effect is a lasting, soft acidity, with the walnut aroma lingering for a while.
