Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 20 euros per bottle)
Original, sober and festive presentation.
Aspect:
Intense
colour, livened up by bright coppery glints, result of 6 hours of
maceration of the Pinot Noir, after crushing and destemming.
Fine
bubbles.
Fine
bead of foam.
Nose:
Radiant
scents of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, Morello cherry,
redcurrant, blackberry and blackcurrant), captivating signatures of the Pinot
Noir, exclusive varietal of the champagne.
Later,
outstanding touches of fresh mint, honey and walnut, barely roasted,
highlighted by a life-giving breath, take us in a heady and endless aromatic
whirl.
Palate:
Dense
and pure opening, characteristic sign of the plot of old vines in La
Celle-sous-Chantemerle (planted in 1960) in which grapes were carefully
harvested by hand in 2016, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation
of the base wines.
The
mouth becomes caressing, supple and generous, definitely thanks to the
selection of the best wine after maceration (free run wine), supported by the
dosage with 7 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Lively
finish, punctuated by delicate spices.
Remarkable
length on the palate.

this cuvée
Révélation,
Vincent Huber, its producer, reveals with talent the fascinating personality of
the Pinot Noir and signs a delicious rosé
de saignée.
To
taste as an aperitif, or during meals among friends, with roasted squab fillets
and chasselas grapes stuffed with mango, for example.
Vincent
Huber, assisted by his wife Nathalie and now by his daughter Margaux, continues
the family adventure started by his grandfather Diogène Tissier in 1931. He
cultivates his vineyard fairly divided between the southern slopes of Epernay
and the Sézannais in the greatest respect of the environment (certified High
Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne). Around 100,000
bottles of inspired champagnes available in 3 collections are thus
produced with accuracy each year, in the cellars of the house, in
Chavot-Courcourt.
