Champagne Tribaut Schloesser - Cuvée René

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019

(around 30 euros per bottle)

Original bottle, very luxurious.

Aspect:

Gold, bright, coupled with reserved green glints.

Bubbles of a rare finesse.

Bead of foam delicate.

Nose:

Radiant, source of intense emotions.

Delicious farandole of aromas of white fruits and citrus fruits nice ripe, underlined by subtle fragrances of almond and exotic fruits, particular characteristic sign of the Chardonnay (70%), chosen in the locality « Les Crayères » in Romery.

Later, notes of red and black fruits are unveiled thanks to the Pinot Noir (30%) from the plot « Les Crossats » in Ecueil, Premier Cru of the small Mountain of Reims.

Palate:

Lively opening and deep, definitely obtained by the adjusted dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

Exciting minerality, coupled with a great complexity supported by sensual touches of pastries, translations of the long ageing of the bottles in the cellars of the house (6 years) before riddling and disgorgement.

Ample and creamy finish, barely spicy, reinforced by the ageing of the reserve wines in casks (50%) and driven by a dynamic effervescence.

Impressive length on the palate.

For this Cuvée René, Sébastien Tribaut was able to find the inspired blending to offer us a joyful champagne, vibrant homage to René Schloesser, founder of the house.

Ideal as an aperitif, or during a meal with pork cheeks confit, glazed with honey and spices, for example.
