Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 44 euros per bottle)
Sober and elegant bottle.
Aspect:
Pale
gold, brilliant.
Bubbles
of a rare finesse.
Fine
bead of foam.
Nose:
Outstanding
bouquet of heady scents.
The
aromas of apple and pear compote, lemon and grapefruit reveal all the finesse
of the Chardonnay, chosen in the Premier Cru terroirs of Grauves in the Côte des Blancs, and Bisseuil in the
Mountain of Reims.
Later,
the fullness of the champagne gently establishes itself with sensual notes of
cocoa, delicately roasted and spicy, signatures of the patient ageing of the
bottles (5 years), at constant temperature (12 °C) in the secret of the
deep cellars of the house.
Palate:
Beautiful
vitality at the opening, obtained by the selection of the best juices (cuvée) during the soft pressing of the
grapes, highlighted by the vibrant minerality of the chalk.
The
freshness reveals a confident generosity, reinforced by the 7 g/L of sugar
added at disgorgement and driven by a creamy effervescence.
Balanced
and dense finish.
Remarkable
length on the palate.
For this Cuvée
Saint-Nicaise - Premier Cru - Blanc de Blancs millésime 2012, Bruno
Charlemagne, œnologist and cellar master of the Champagne house Bauchet, was
able to accompany with talent grapes carefully harvested by hand in 2012, to
sign a radiant and rare champagne.
To taste from
aperitif to meal, as a starter with an octopus, smoked pepper and caramelised
new potatoes, for example.
Driven
by the love of champagne symbolised by the heart, emblem of the house, created
from the meeting of the « B » of Bauchet and a champagne glass, Florence, now
joined by Robin Bauchet, fifth generation, continue with passion the family
saga started in 1920. They cultivate in the greatest respect of the environment
their 34 hectares vineyard, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 7
terroirs, in the Côte des Blancs, the Mountain of Reims and the Côte des Bar,
to craft each year around 250,000 bottles of highly expressive champagnes.
