Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 21 euros per bottle)
Festive, refined and bright bottle.
Aspect:
Copper-coloured,
thanks to the sensual blending of 85% of white wine of Pinot Noir and Meunier
and 15% of red Coteau Champenois.
Delicate
bubbles.
Elegant
bead of foam.
Nose:
Radiant
and endless sarabande of fragrances of nice ripe red and black fruits
(strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry), intense and
gourmet, underlined by sensual spices (liquorice and pepper), heady
characteristic signs of the black varietals (Pinot Noir and Meunier).
Later,
the Pinot Noir, selected in 2015 in the locality « Le Chalois » of the
Grand Cru of Mailly-Champagne in the Mountain of Reims and vinified as red wine
with maceration at 26 °C for 5 to 7 days after complete destemming,
unveils all its aromatic potential.
Palate:
Dynamic opening, reinforced by the selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the black
grapes for the production of the white wine.
The mouth is revealed ample and generous, highlighted by a subtle
effervescence and supported by the dosage with 9 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement.
Deliciously acidulous finish, driven by the red and black fruits,
crunchy, barely spicy.
Remarkable length on the palate.
For this Brut
Rosé, Patrick Manceaux, its producer, illustrates the
full extent of his œnological talent producing a splendid traditionally blended
rosé.
Ideal for your sunny aperitifs, on the terrace, or as a dessert, with a
verrine of red fruits and mascarpone, for example.
Resolutely committed to a sustainable development approach to reduce the
environmental footprint, certified High Environmental Value (HVE), Agnès and
her brother Patrick Manceaux, heirs to 3 generations of wine growers, cultivate
with care their 12 hectares vineyard planted with the 3 champenois varietals (45% Pinot Noir,
30% Meunier and 25% Chardonnay). Each year, Patrick Manceaux produces with
accuracy around 90,000 bottles of a range of inspired champagnes, marketed
under the brand created in 1947 by his father Roger.
