Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 20 euros per
bottle)
Original and harmonious
bottle.
Aspect:
Rose-coloured, dense and
lively.
Refined bubbles.
Gleaming and bright.
Nose:
Sensual and radiant
aromas.
Initially dominated by
joyful fragrances of red and black fruits, touching expressions of the majority
of Pinot Noir (60% of the white base wine and 100% of the red wine).
Later, the Chardonnay
(40% of the white base wine) is unveiled, initially shy, and then more assured
with elegant touches of white fruits and exotic fruits, underlined by a
delicate scent of honey, translations of the maturity of the Champagne obtained
by 36 months of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate:
Sensual opening,
improbable balance between liveliness and silky roundness, characteristic sign
of the generous dosage with 17 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
We find again the festive
fruity notes perceived at the nose, driven by the lively effervescence.
Interminable finish,
deliciously acidulous.
Great length on the
palate.
For this Cuvée Velours -
Extra Dry Rosé Premier Cru from the terroirs
of Cumières, Chamery and Villeneuve-Renneville, Jean-Bernard Moroy, producer
and cellar master of the Champagne House Louis Massing, was able to find the
perfect blending of the white wine and red wine (12%, obtained by traditional
red wine production with the Pinot Noir chosen in a plot of
Villeneuve-Renneville) to offer us a touching blended Champagne rosé.
Ideal to accompany your
desserts, with a red fruits tiramisu in glass jars, for example.
Settled in Avize, in the
heart of the Côte des Blancs, the Champagne House Louis Massing, directed by
Estelle Moroy, born Deregard, and her husband Jean-Bernard, now assisted by
their son Julien, has been perpetuating the family traditions since 1922.
Grapes rigorously selected in the 12 hectares vineyard of the House, but also
in vineyards of wine growing partners, allow the production of around 300,000
bottles per year of a range inspired by highly expressive Champagnes.
