Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
55 euros per bottle)
Organic Champagne
Original, elegant and uncluttered bottle.
Aspect:
Amber
and solar.
Remarkably
fine and dynamic bubbles.
Delicate
bead of foam.
Generous
tears.
Nose:
Fabulous,
between and greed and sensuality.
Radiant
aromas of caramel and pastries, gently mingled with notes of cocoa and roasted
coffee, delicious expressions of the maturity of the cuvée, result of 17 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles
before disgorgement.
Later,
the perfumes of candied red fruits couples with spirituous hints, signatures of
the Pinot Noir from Buxeuil (50%), mingle with scents of apple, pear, apricot
and raisin, characteristic signs of the Chardonnay from Montgueux (50%),
highlighted by a life-giving breath.
Palate:
Dense
and deep opening.
The
mouth becomes caressing, creamy and sensual, close to the fullness, reinforced
by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines,
enhanced by the vibrant minerality of the chalk.
Tasty
and balanced finish, thanks to the adjusted dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement in April 2015, punctuated by soft spices.
Endless
length on the palate.
With this
restricted cuvée Sensation (5150
bottles), Vincent Couche delivers us a well-defined Champagne, gem of pleasure,
to taste absolutely.
Even
if it is self-sufficient, it will accompany with pleasure prawns skewers with
thyme and garlic, for example.
Settled
in Buxeuil, in the heart of the Côte des bar, the Champagne House Vincent
Couche cultivates with care its 13 hectares of vineyard spread over Buxeuil and
Montgueux. Converted to biodynamy since 2008 and constantly looking for natural
balance, Vincent Couche tries his hardest to maintain the biodiversity of his
wine estate to better respect terroirs.
A gentle and inspired oenology, in wood, with parcelled vinification, without
chapatalization nor yeast addition nor filtration, gives birth to around 80,000
bottles of rare Champagnes each year.
