Guide VERON des Champagnes 2013
(approx. 27 Euros per bottle)
Located in Venteuil in the heart of the Marne Valley since 1789, the Dubois family has passionately cultivated 7 hectares of vineyard, with respect for the environment, and producing quality Champagne.
Elegant and
luxurious looking.
Appearance :
·
Pale straw yellow
·
Fine perlage
·
Faint bead
·
Bright and limpid
Nose :
·
Complex and generous, instantly delivering an alluring
and charming aromatic spectrum
·
Aromas of plum, prune, sour cherry and kirsch, thanks
to the 50% Pinot Noir
·
Delicate nuances of walnut, hazelnut, apple, pear,
candied citrus fruit, apricot and raisin, characteristic of the 50% Chardonnay
·
The nose therefore becomes rich, marked by honey and
spiced bread, combined with unlikely notes of pineapple and fig jam, before
revealing a particular woody note, spices (pepper, cinnamon, liquorice) and
roasted hint, obtained by ageing the base wines in the barrel for 11 months,
perfectly mastered
·
Delicious aromas of brioche, toasted bread and
pastries, an expression of the great maturity of this Champagne, the result of
patient ageing sur lattes of the bottles before disgorgement
Palate :
·
Fresh and mineral attack
·
The palate is then particularly delicious and smooth,
with a dominant note of honey, with subtle woody notes
·
Aromas of apple and pear compote
·
Nuances of spices, enriched by a restrained and
elegant effervescence
·
Deliciously acidulous finish, of citrus fruit
·
Very good length on the palate
With this Cuvée du Rédempteur 2000, Claudy Dubois-Michaux, the producer presents a superb interpretation of the 2000 vintage, bringing out the quintessence.
Drink as an aperitif, or why not, during a celebratory
meal, with warm goat’s cheese canapés drizzled in honey.
