Another taster tells all about Ellner Brut Intégral

A chance to win a bottle of Ellner Brut Intégral. Please go and look at the bottle of Ellner Brut Intégral in the shop, then read the post below and comment on the bottle presentation. We really value what you have to say- so all people making a comment will be entered into a draw for the chance to win a bottle of Ellner Brut Intégral champagne.

Will Broome another of our customer’s who has ordered cases from us was chosen to ‘be a taster’.

Here’s what he had to say:

Regarding the label and bottle presentation, Will said:

Old fashioned and a bit chintzy- wouldn’t look classy enough on the shelf in my humble opinion… in fact, the exact opposite.

So did the colour of the champagne fare any better? Will said:

Nice colour- not too sweet looking or insipid.

..and how about the bubbles? were there lots or a fine stream?

Lots of small bubbles… we used flutes, looked quite inviting to drink.

Will tells us about the aromas he detected:

Fruity- crisp- clean aroma

We asked Will what the initial taste of the champagne was and what was the intensity of bubbles in the mouth:

Very Bubbly (but not too bubbly) when in your mouth.

How about the flavour? Does the champagne fill your mouth with flavour?

Yes, in short.

We asked Will about the aftertaste:

Nice long after taste that intensified for a few minutes.. but not at all unpleasant- was quite dry too.

Could Will detect any flavours coming through after a few sips?

An oaky flavour..we think.

Please rate this champagne out of ten (with 1 the lowest and 10 the highest):

8-8.5

And finally when would you think it would be best to drink this champagne?

Celebration- a tad too heavy to drink just as an aperitif or because you feel like it.

Will also made this final comment below:

We would definitely buy this from you… a really nice champagne, but get that label looking more classy… the impressionist/ faux baroque thing really doesn’t work.

So it would seem that the label hasn’t been a great hit with either of our tasters. (see Diane Flynn’s comments) PLEASE!!! tell us what you think of the Ellner Brut Intégral label- we would love to get a discussion going!

( By the way, all the Ellner labels with pictures come from part of a single piece of art purchased by the Ellner family. The picture hangs in the hallway of their champagne ‘house’.)

Cheers,

Helen
