Champagne tasting

Champagne tasting involves assessing its appearance, aroma, taste, and finish. First, observe the color and clarity, noting hints of gold or green. Swirl gently to release aromas, then inhale to detect floral, fruity, or toasty scents. Take a small sip, allowing the bubbles to activate, and focus on the flavors—such as apple, citrus, brioche, or almond—along with the wine’s texture and acidity. Finish with the lingering taste, known as the finish. Combining these elements helps appreciate Champagne's complexity and craftsmanship, making the experience both enjoyable and insightful.
