Champagne Tange-Gérard - Solliphere 2014

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 30 euros per bottle)

 

 

Aspect:

 

Golden yellow, brilliant.

 

Fine and regular bubbles.

 

Nose:

 

Sensual and endless.

 

The Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the cuvée, delicately harvested by hand in 2014 in the plot « Les Vieilles Grand-mères », in Loisy-en-Brie, slowly reveals all its finesse, with aromas of apple, pear and citrus fruits, highlighted by a mentholated breath.

Palate:

 

Heady purity thanks to the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and to the minimalist dosage with only 2 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

 

The mouth is revealed ample and generous, expression of the maturity obtained by 3 years of ageing on laths.

 

With this reserved cuvée Solliphere 2014 (3,500 bottles), Alain Gérard, wine grower, signs a rare champagne.
