Champagne Tribaut Schloesser - Millésime 2009


Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 27 euros per bottle)

Harmonious and luxurious bottle.

Aspect:

White gold.

Fine and festive bubbles.

Elegant bead of bubbles.

Nose:

Heady from the first nose, it takes us into an endless whirl of rare emotions.

The Chardonnay (40%) and its delicate touches of apple and peach compote, enhanced by a mentholated breath and punctuated by notes of white flowers, gently interlaces the majority of Pinot Noir (60%) and its scents of red and black fruits punctuated by spices.

Later, the nose reveals a gentle warmth with aromas of honey and pastries, expressions of the radiant maturity of the Champagne, obtained by 6 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.

Palate:

Fresh opening thanks to the adjusted dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, supported by a seductive minerality.

The mouth becomes caressing sensual and deep, with flavours of vanilla and almond, highlighted by a life-giving breath and captivating woody notes, definitely obtained by the vinification and the ageing of 20% of the base wines of Pinot Noir in oak casks.

Tasty finish.

Very great length on the palate.

For this Millésime 2009, Sébastien Tribaut was able to blend with talent three original terroirs of the Champagne House Tribaut Schloesser (Ecueil, Romery and Fleury-la-Rivière), to offer us an inspired interpretation of this beautiful year 2009.

To taste as an aperitif, but especially during meals among friends, with a free-range chicken breast and truffles, for example.

Established in Romery, in the Marne Valley, the Champagne House Tribaut Schloesser has been perpetuating the family traditions since 1929. Now directed by Sébastien Tribaut and his brother Valentin, fourth generation, the House cultivates with passion its vineyard of 20 hectares. A gentle and accurate œnology, with ageing of a part of the base wines in oak casks, gives birth each year to around 250,000 bottles of highly expressive Champagnes, largely reserved for exportation.
