Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(approximately 30 euros
a bottle)
Wine grower in Hautvillers since 4
generations, the Champagne Pierre Gobillard relies on its 8-hectare vineyard, planted
with 60% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier and 15% Pinot Noir, to produce and
market 160,000 bottles of Champagnes of character.
Pure, luxurious and very successful
presentation.
Visual Aspect:
·
Golden, bright.
·
Very fine bubbles.
·
Sophisticated
bead of bubbles, persisting after the service.
Nose:
·
Blooming,
it reveals a moving aromatic pallet.
·
Generous
aromas of honey and beeswax, slightly roasted, expressions of the rising
maturity of the Champagne, the result of three years ageing on laths of the bottles
before disgorgement, with autolysis of the bottle fermentation yeasts.
·
Delicate
scents of apple, pear, peach, apricot and acacia, signatures of the Chardonnay
(50%) selected on the Grand Cru of Cramant, in the Côte des Blancs.
·
Later,
the Pinot Noir (50%), carefully chosen in Hautvillers and Cumières, reveals its
delightful fragrances of red fruit
compote (blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry and currant).
Palate:
·
Pure
first taste, thanks to the rigorous selection of the first juices, purer,
during the soft pressing of the grapes, underlined by a striking minerality.
·
The
palate then becomes caressing and broad, strengthened by the realization of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines, supported by a smooth effervescence.
·
Delicious
and charmingly tangy finish.
·
Good
length.
This cuvee Florence Millésime 2009,
first vintage Champagne of the house, rewards maker Hervé Gobillard's, who managed
to marry the delicacy of the Chardonnay and the powerfulness of the Pinot Noir
to pay an elegant tribute to his wife.
To enjoy for the apéritif or during
meals with friends, to accompany fried scampis and their purée of peas with
mint for example.
