More about the drink itself

Reviews about it help a simple dilettante to understand some of the subtleties. To begin with, we must remember that this special sparkling wine is produced in three varieties: brut, semi-dry and semisweet. The difference between them is the amount of sugar that is added at the end of the process of secondary fermentation and aging. All over the world, preference is given to semi-dry beverages of this kind. Probably, this explains the increased demand for just such sparkling wine "Lev Golitsyn" (champagne). Reviews of other varieties also confirm their excellent quality. It was this drink in 1896 marked by such a solemn event as the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. The organizers of the festival chose the best for the ceremony, and it is not surprising that the future sovereign himself held the glass with this wine.

Important Features

Despite the fact that the experts appreciate the drier varieties, in the retail chains, high-demand champagne "Lev Golitsyn" is semi-sweet. The reviews in this case confirm the peculiarities of the production of this sort of wine. As is known, in accordance with the technology, the ready sparkling drink is bottled and stored in a horizontal position in special rooms. During this time, the wine is enriched with additional flavors with many different shades. In addition, aging affects the ability of champagne to play in a glass. This distinguishes him from many other wines. Usually this sparkling wine reaches the required condition for at least three years. Semisweet grade of the drink "Lev Golitsyn" is maintained for a month more than the rest. This makes it possible for an additional amount of sugar to suppress the existing bitterness and at the same time give a piquant note to the wine. Due to this, the wine acquires a more diverse bouquet and a deep aroma.

How to choose the best

All over the world, preference is given to the most dry sparkling wines. Therefore, the best of this series can be considered champagne "Lev Golitsyn" brut. The responses of specialists in this case coincide with the world assessment. First of all, it should be noted that champagne "Lev Golitsyn" has an increased percentage of alcohol, which is not very good for such wine. But brut is characterized by a lower alcohol content compared to semisweet or semi-dry champagne of this brand. In it, the flower-fruit aroma is most vividly felt against the background of tender freshness.

But the opinions of ordinary people do not always coincide with the conclusions of specialists. Therefore in Russia sweet sparkling wines are sold better. Here, everyone makes a decision based on their own tastes and wishes. But the ideal quality and compliance with all existing standards remains unchanged for this drink. This advantageously distinguishes it from the usual for us soda under the proud name "Soviet champagne."
