Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 25 euros per bottle)
Neat
presentation. Bottle emblematic of the House.
Aspect :
·
Golden and brilliant.
·
Fine and dynamic bubbles.
·
Fine bead of
bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
·
Generous
and gourmet.
·
Captivating aromas of red and
black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blueberry, blackcurrant and
blackberry), punctuated by delicate spices, signatures of the Pinot Noir (90%).
·
The nose then opens up with
warm scents of honey, caramel and pastries, barely toasted, expressions of the
maturity of the cuvée obtained by 5
years of ageing on laths of the bottles, with autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts.
Palate :
·
Initially lively, intense and deep, reinforced by the
adjusted dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, supported by a
heady minerality.
·
The mouth then becomes sensual and caressing, coupled
with subtle hints of citrus fruits, green apple, pear and peach, thanks to the
Chardonnay (10%).
·
Revealing the red fruits already perceived at the
nose.
·
Tasty finish, subtly spicy, brightened up with an
iodized and mentholated breath.
·
Remarkable length on the palate.
With this Brut Millésime 2009 Grand Cru, Eric and Bruno Vesselle, its
producers, offers us a highly expressive Champagne, between reserved power and
elegance, touching interpretation of the great year 2009 in the Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy, in the Mountain of
Reims.
To taste
during the meal, with a loin of lamb in herb coating, for example.
Wine growers in Bouzy, Eric and Bruno
Vesselle preside over the destiny of the Champagne House Georges Vesselle,
perpetuating the endless quest of perfection of their father, Georges Vesselle.
A vineyard of 17 hectares in the historical Grand Crus of Bouzy, planted with
90% of Pinot Noir and 10% of Chardonnay, composed of 21 plots well exposed at
mid-slope, allows to produce around 200,000 bottles of Champagnes with
personality each year, patiently aged in the deep cellars of the House.
