Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around 80 euros per bottle)
Artistic presentation, variation inspired around the
theme “draw me a Champagne”, in a midnight blue bottle.
Aspect:
Pale
gold.
Fine
bubbles.
Delicate
bead of bubbles.
Nez:
Refined
and intense, endless aromatic farandole. Subtle fragrances of bitter almond and
hazelnut, evolving towards citrus fruits, apple and pear, punctuated by
touching iodized and mentholated notes, original signatures of the Chardonnay,
exclusive varietal of the cuvée,
carefully selected in a 22 ares plot in Vanault-le-Châtel.
The
nose then becomes caressing, with soft hints of marzipan and caramel.
Palate:
Pure
and dense attack thanks to the rigorous selection of the first juices (cuvée)
during the pressing of the grapes, early in the morning, and to the timely stop
of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
The
mouth then becomes sensual, supported by the maturity obtained by 5 years of
ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Finish
which takes us into a life-giving breath, perhaps the original force of the
Vitryat terroir enhanced by the
freshness of the grapes harvested during the night of 27 to 28 September 2008.
Impressive
length on the palate.
With
this cuvée Songe d’une nuit de
vendanges – Millésime 2008 – Extra Brut, first Champagne from a night harvest,
Bertrand Trépo, its producer, signs an unforgettable interpretation of the
great year 2008.
To taste during meals, with scallops and
caviar, for example.
Cinquième génération de vignerons installée depuis plus
d’un siècle à Vanault-le-Châtel dans le Vitryat, le champagne Trépo Leriguier
cultive avec soin son vignoble de 40 ares de chardonnay. Une viticulture
orientée vers la réduction de l’empreinte écologique et une œnologie créative donnent naissance à
environ 20 000 flacons de champagnes rares par an, révélateurs de terroirs,
dont 80% sont exportés, principalement vers l’Asie.
