Champagne Brimoncourt - Brut Régence

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020

(around 30 euros per bottle)

Refined and harmonious presentation. Name evocative of the regent festive spirit, Philippe d’Orléans, in the 18th century.

Aspect:

Gold, crystal-clear.

Fine bubbles.

Delicate bead of bubbles, persistent after service of the flute.

Nose:

Radiant generosity, source of rare emotions.

The champagne immediately reveals its maturity, obtained by 5 years of ageing on laths of the bottles at constant temperature (12°C), with heady scents of honey and caramel subtly toasted and roasted.

Later, the majority of Chardonnay (80%) establishes its grace with its touches of white fruits compote, citrus fruits and white flowers, punctuated by aromas of candied red and black fruits thanks to the Pinot Noir (20%).

Palate:

Beautiful vitality at the opening, highlighted by the tension and the brilliant minerality of the noble terroirs in which grapes were carefully harvested by hand, mainly in 2012.

The mouth is slowly unveiled, supple and creamy, supported by the 8 g/L of sugar added during the dosage, at disgorgement.

Balanced, lively and acidulous finish.

Endless length on the palate.

This Brut Régence, first champagne marketed by the house in 2013, embodies the daring of Alexandre Cornot, Chief Executive Officer of the Champagne house Brimoncourt, to continue his quest for excellence, between rigour and uninhibited elegance.

Ideal from aperitif to meal, with a red mullet fillet, for example.

A touch of madness and imagination, with a great passion for Champagne, rigour combined with elegance and boldness, these are the ingredients which led Alexandre Cornot to achieve the impossible in 2008: to create his own Champagne house. He put his creativity in the service of the grapes, mainly Chardonnay, chosen in the best terroirs of Champagne, to establish his casual and spontaneous style, and to produce each year with his team around 250,000 bottles of fresh and elegant champagnes.
