(around 20 euros per bottle)
Poetic
name. Sober and luxurious presentation. Bottle with harmonious forms.
Aspect
:
·
Pale gold, bright.
·
Very fine bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of bubbles,
persistent.
Nose :
·
Elegant and complex.
·
Initially marked by the
majority of Chardonnay (80%), from Villers-Marmery, with some subtle notes of
citrus fruits, candied apple and pear and white flowers.
·
Caressing aromas of caramel
and honey, expressions of the maturity of the Champagne obtained by the ageing
on laths of the bottles for 30 months, supported by reserved woody notes,
result of the controlled vinification of 80% of the base wines in oak barrels
(several years old).
·
Patience is rewarded by the
appearance of heady scents of red fruits, signatures of the Pinot Noir (20%),
selected in the Grand Cru of Verzenay.
Palate :
·
Pure and dense
attack, reinforced by the rigorous selection of the finest juices (cuvée),
during the pressing of the grapes.
·
The mouth then becomes caressing and warm, definitely
thanks to the generous dosage, with 10 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
·
Tasty finish, with a touch of spices.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this cuvée Ocarina, Stéphane Rémy, its
producer, was able to choose his oldest plots (between 40 and 80 years) and
compose an inspired blending between the varietals and the years (60% from 2011
and 40% of reserve wines from the 3 previous years), to offer us a remarkable
interpretation of the terroir of
Villers-Marmery.
To taste from aperitif to meal, to accompany pike
quenelles with crayfish, for example.
Wine Grower in Villers-Marmery since
1952, in the heart of the Mountain of Reims, the Champagne House S. Remy
