Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
14 euros per bottle)
Original and luxurious bottle with generous forms.
Aspect:
Golden and bright.
Fine bubbles.
Delicate corolla of bubbles, persistent after
service of the flute.
Nose:
Radiant and endless aromatic compilation.
Scents of candied red and black fruits
coupled with delicate spices (liquorice, cinnamon and pepper), sensual
signatures of the black varietals (50% of Meunier and 35% of Pinot Noir),
gently interlace touches of white fruits, citrus fruits and peach supported by
a mentholated breath, characteristic signs of the Chardonnay (15%).
Palate:
Marked opening, obtained by the rigorous
selection of the first juices (cuvée
and cœur de cuvée) during the soft
pressing of the grapes, highlighted by the tasty minerality of the Passy-Grigny terroir.
Beautiful, gourmet and creamy presence,
thanks to the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base
wines and to the addition of 8 g/L of grape sugar during the dosage.
Finally, we find again the tasty red fruits
already perceived at the nose, coupled with a touch of caramel and underlined
by the silky effervescence.
Great length on the palate.
For this Cuvée
Réserve with a very good value for money, Benjamin Rogge, its producer,
orchestrates with sensitivity the meeting of varietals and vintages with 12% of
reserve wines in continuous blending according to the principle of solera, to
reach the right balance.
Ideal from aperitif to meal,
with a venison loin, carrots and candied quinces, for example.
Established in Passy-Grigny since 1982, the
Champagne house Rogge Cereser has been perpetuating the family traditions of
friendliness, both for its La Colleterie guestrooms and for the reception in
its new facilities. Driven by a real desire to reduce the environmental
footprint, Benjamin Rogge guides with dynamism and creativity the brand created
by his parents in 1997, between plantation of ancient varietals and ageing in
barrels, to craft each year around 75,000 bottles of authentic champagnes.
