Refined
and bright look.
Aspect :
·
Golden, with reserved green glints.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Refined bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Radiant, it reveals a harmonious aromatic composition.
·
Scents of candied apple and pear, with touches of citrus fruits, apricot
and white flowers, slightly iodized and mentholated, signature of the
Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the Cuvée.
·
The maturity, well defined, is then revealed, result of ageing on laths
for 6 years, with soft hints of honey, beeswax, subtly roasted and barely
woody.
Palate :
·
The mouth is revealed with a vibrant tension, underlined by a rare
minerality, reinforced by the rigorous selection of the first juices, purer
during the soft pressing of the grapes (top quality wine), and the timely stop
of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
·
Enveloping warm, silky, with a delicate woody obtained by the perfect control
of vinification and of ageing in barrels (5 to 6 years old on average) of the
base wines, for 6 to 9 months, with some rare bâtonnages.
·
Dense finish.
·
Good length on the palate.
With this restricted Cuvée Tendresse 2006 Blanc
de Blancs, Delphine Brulez, œnologist of the Champagne House Louise
Brison, was able to choose the best grapes of her low yields old plots, planted
between 1986 and 1987 in the heart of the terroir
of Noé-les-Mallet, to offer us a touching interpretation of the great year
2006.
To taste as an aperitif or to accompany your festive
meals, with a braised sweetbread truffle and madeira, for example.
Wine
grower and producer in Noé-les-Mallets for 4 generations, the Champagne House
Louise Brison cultivates with passion its vineyard of 13 hectares, settled in
the terroir of the Côte des Bar,
animated by a genuine desire to reduce the impact on the environment, in a
responsible approach. A soft and accurate oenology gives birth to around 35,000
bottles of Champagne with personality each year.
