Champagne Camille Savès - Cuvée Rosé Brut - Bouzy Grand Cru

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020

(around 23 euros per bottle)

Sober and elegant bottle. Back label full of information.

Aspect:

Copper-coloured, reflection of the controlled blending of the white base wine (88%) and red wine from Pinot Noir (12%), in the pure champenois tradition.

Fine and dynamic bubbles.

Fine bead of foam.

Nose:

Radiant, it immediately takes us in a heady aromatic whirl, between candied red and black fruits, signatures of the Pinot Noir (40%), and white fruits thanks to the majority of Chardonnay (60%).

Later, warm and toasted touches are unveiled, expressions of the great maturity of the cuvée obtained by 3 years of ageing on laths of the bottles.

Palate:

Beautiful vitality at the opening, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines, including red wine.

The mouth becomes gentleness, driven by a silky effervescence and supported by the dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

Dense finish, highlighted by the delicious minerality of the chalk and enhanced by the optimal maturity of the grapes harvested by hand in the best localities of the Grand Cru of Bouzy, in the Mountain of Reims.

Endless length on the palate.

With this Cuvée Rosé Brut - Bouzy Grand Cru, Hervé Savès, wine grower, offers us a generous champagne rosé, brilliant delicacy.

It will accompany you from meal to dessert, with a red fruits sabayon, for example.

While the fifth generation of passionate wine growers enters the scene with the arrival of Arthur Savès in the wine estate, the Champagne house Camille Savès has been perpetuating the pioneering spirit of Eugène Savès, its founder in 1894. Talented wine grower, Hervé Savès signs each year around 85,000 bottles of touching champagnes, of which 85% are exported to the USA, variations inspired around the soul of the noble terroirs (Grands Crus of Bouzy, Ambonnay, Tours-sur-Marne and Premier Cru of Tauxières) of the 10 hectares vineyard of the house, cultivated in the greatest respect of the environment.
