The
Chardonnay, carefully harvested by hand in 2007 in the Grands Crus of Cramant,
Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, affirms its
elegance with aromas of apple, pear, citrus fruits, apricot and grape,
highlighted by an iodized and mentholated breath.
Later,
the fullness of the champagne gently establishes itself, with generous scents
of honey and pastries thanks to 10 years of patient ageing on laths of the
bottles, before riddling and disgorgement.
Palate:
Beautiful
tension at the opening, obtained by the rigorous selection of the purest juices
during the soft pressing of the grapes and driven by the brilliant minerality
of the chalk.
The
mouth becomes caressing, creamy and supple, supported by the 10 g/L of
sugar added during the dosage.
Deliciously
acidulous finish, punctuated by subtle spices.
Endless
length on the palate.
With this Champagne
Diamant - Blanc de Blancs - Millésime 2007, Dominique Pichart enhances the
Chardonnay to sign an unforgettable wine.
To taste as an
aperitif or during a meal, with oysters and apple juice, for example.
Created in 1976, the Champagne house Vranken
establishes itself with its meteoric rise, under the leadership of its
visionary founder, Paul-François Vranken, who put his dynamism and his
creativity in the service of the eponymous brand, to become the second
Champagne house. He takes advantage of the expertise and the perfect knowledge
of the vineyard of Dominique Pichart, first cellar master of the Champagne
house Vranken, who abolishes the spirit of Cognac of the expedition liqueur to
invent the Vranken style producing for over 40 years touching, balanced and
festive champagnes.
