Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
38 euros per bottle)
Sober and luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Golden
and sparkling.
Fine
bubbles.
Reserved
bead of scattered bubbles.
Nose:
Radiant,
generous and sensual.
Well
defined maturity, signature of the patient ageing on laths of the bottles (10
years) before disgorgement, with joyful aromas of honey and caramel coupled
with captivating spirituous notes, evolving towards roasted coffee.
Later,
the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the Champagne, carefully selected in 2004
at perfect ripeness in old plots of vine, is slowly revealed with its heady
scents of citrus fruits, apple, pear and candied quince.
Palate:
Dense
and balanced at the opening, supported by a radiant maturity, reinforced by the
rigorous selection of the first juices (cuvée),
purer, during the pressing of the grapes, and by the adjusted dosage with only
4 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
The
mouth becomes caress, silky and sensual, definitely the result of the
vinification (without chaptalization) and then the ageing of the base wines in
oak barrels (3 to 8 years old), for eight months, with regular bâtonnages.
Delicious
finish.
Exceptional
length on the palate.
