Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015

(approximately 29 euros a bottle)

 

Settled in Bouzy, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims since 1894, the Champagne Camille Savès, created thanks to the marriage of Eugène Savès with Anaïs Jolicœur, grows with passion its 10-hectare vineyard planted with 80% of Pinot Noir and 20% of Chardonnay, to produce approximately 85,000 bottles of Champagnes of character every year, of which 85% are sent to the United States.

 

Original, modern and luxurious presentation, for this vintage created in tribute to the founder of the house’s wife.

 

Visual Aspect: 

 

·        Pale gold.

·        Fine bubbles.

·        Sophisticated bead of bubbles.

 

Nose :

 

·        At first secret, it quickly reveals a great complexity, a source of intense pleasure.

·        Delicate scents of citrus, apple, pear, peach and cherry plum, fully elegant, signatures of the 10% of Chardonnay.

·        Later, the Pinot Noir (90%) reveals its personality, with generous fragrances of red fruits (blackcurrant and raspberry) and of spices.

·        Blooming maturity, with warm notes of chocolate and roasted coffee, result of 4 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement, harmoniously mingling with a sensual woodiness, obtained by the vinification and élevage of the base wines in Burgundy oak barrels of 6 years.

 

Palate:

 

·        The first sip is marked by a lively and moving tension, allowed by the sensible blocking of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines, supported by the particularly dense minerality of the Grand Cru of Bouzy, facing south, unique origin of the grapes selected on vines over 35 years old.

·        The palate then becomes warm, captivating and fleshy, backed by a smooth effervescence.

·        Great length.

 

With this confidential Cuvée Anaïs Jolicœur 2008 (4,250 bottles), Hervé Savès, wine grower, proposes us a remarkable interpretation of 2008, a beautiful award for his know-how.

 

eTo enjoy during a meal with friends, to accompany a fillet of Lake Geneva fera, for example.
