Aroma Calculator
A champagne smells different at three years than at ten. The grape sets the base notes, time on the lees and in the bottle builds on top. This calculator shows which aromas appear one after another.
Choose one or more grapes and move the ageing slider. The output is sorted into three layers: primary from the grape, secondary from ageing and autolysis, tertiary from long ageing.
Good to know
The mapping is guidance, not a lab value. Dosage, storage and the timing of disgorgement shift the picture. The minor grapes are deliberately marked as having limited data.
