Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
35 euros per bottle)
Sober and bright presentation.
Aspect:
Golden,
glinting.
Fine
bubbles.
Elegant
bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Sensual
and endless harmony of heady scents.
The
Chardonnay, exclusive varietal, takes us with its perfumes of apple, pear,
lemon, grapefruit, almond and hazelnut, enhanced by the joyful iodized breath,
definitely obtained by the vinification and the ageing of the base wines in oak
barrels during seven months on yeasts lees.
Later,
the nose reveals improbable touches of exotic fruits.
Palate:
Pure
opening, with a delicious tension, obtained by the selection of the first
juices (cuvée) during the soft
pressing of the grapes, the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the
base wines and the adjusted dosage with only 4 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement.
The
mouth becomes caress, expression of the emerging maturity of the Champagne,
leading to a tasty finish, punctuated by delicate spices.
Remarkable
length on the palate.
With
this reserved Cuvée Blanc de Blancs «Le Mont des Tours» (4260 bottles), Hervé
Savès was able to blend wines from 2011 (90%) and from 2010 (10%), to offer us
an unforgettable reading of the strong character of the Bouzy terroir, south-facing Grand Cru of the
Mountain of Reims
To
taste during festive meals, with snails in a puff pastry and Bleu de Langres,
for example.
Wine
grower in Bouzy, the Champagne House Camille Savès carries on its pursuit of
excellence since 1984. An accurate oenology, in the service of a vineyard of 10
hectares of old vines planted in the Grands Crus (Bouzy, Ambonnay and
Tours-sur-Marne) completed by the Premier Cru of Tauxières, cultivated in a
real desire to reduce the environmental footprint (without herbicide nor
insecticide and with ploughing of the soils), allows to produce around 85,000
bottles of exceptional Champagnes per year, of which 80% are exported and 50%
are shipped to the major export.
