Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 37 euros per bottle)
Sober, original and bright bottle.
Aspect:
Golden.
Particularly fine bubbles.
Brilliant brightness, coupled with silky tears.
Nose:
Endless harmony of sensual fragrances.
Radiant aromas of citrus fruits, apple, pear, white flowers and
hazelnut, hymns to the Chardonnay harvested by hand in Grands Crus (Chouilly,
Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant, Aÿ and Ambonnay), highlighted by an iodized
and mentholated breath.
Later, the fullness of the Champagne, result of 7 years of ageing on
laths of the bottles with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts, is unveiled with gentle touches of honey
and beeswax.
Palate:
Lively tension, supported by the vibrant characteristic sign of the
chalky terroirs.
The mouth then reveals a vertiginous and warm depth, gourmet caress
obtained by the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base
wines, enhanced by the lively effervescence.
We find again the citrus fruits already perceived at the nose,
underlined by notes of fresh butter and brioche.
Generous finish thanks to the accurate dosage, with 10 g/L of sugar
added at disgorgement, highlighted by a spark of soft spices.
Exceptional length on the palate.
For this Grand Cru Chardonnay Vintage 2008, Guillaume Roffiaen, œnology
director of the Champagne House Nicolas Feuillatte, offers us a well-defined
Champagne, inspired interpretation of the Chardonnay ripened in 2008 in its
best terroirs.
To taste from aperitif to meal, with a sturgeon fillet, lime and ginger,
for example.
Born in 1976 in the Champagne area, land of enchantment, Nicolas
Feuillatte is both the youngest major Champagne House and the largest brand of
Champagnes of wine growers, embodying the commitment and the passion of its
4,500 wine growers. The Champagnes range is varied, like the richness and the
diversity of its terroirs (more than
2,250 hectares, including 13 of the 17 Grands Crus, and 33 of the 42 Premiers
Crus). It shows the expertise and the style of the House, of which finesse and
elegance are the key words.
