Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
27 euros per bottle)
Harmonious and refined bottle.
Aspect:
Gold, bright.
Particularly fine bubbles.
Delicate bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Radiant generosity, enhanced by the respect
of a long period between disgorgement, of which the date est specified on the
back label, and shipment.
The majority of Pinot Noir (80%) gently
establishes itself with subtle aromas of red and black fruits highlighted by
elegant touches of apple and pear, graceful signatures of the chardonay (20%).
Later, captivating fragrances of honey and
pastries reveal the maturity of the champagne, characteristic sign of 6 years
of ageing on laths of the bottles, in the deep chalk cellars of the house.
Palate:
Delicious tension at the opening, obtained by
the rigorous selection of the best juices (cuvée)
during the soft pressing of the grapes and by the timely stop of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines.
The mouth becomes sensual, reinforced by the
accurate dosage with 7 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Lively finish, barely spicy, coupled with a
radiant minerality.
Remarkable length on the palate.
With this Millésime 2011,
Hervé Savès, its producer, signs a remarkable interpretation of the terroir of Bouzy, exclusive origin of
the grapes harvested by hand at perfect
ripeness in old plots of
vine (over 35 years old).
Ideal as an aperitif but especially
during a meal, with a rack of lamb in salt crust, 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.
