Champagne François Vallois - Cuvée Vieille Vigne 2010

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 19 euros per bottle)

 


 

Aspect:

 

Gold, brilliant.

 

Fine bubbles.

 

Nose:

 

Outstanding and endless elegance. 

Sensual aromas of apple, pear, apricot and grape, highlighted by an iodized and mentholated breath, heady signatures of the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the champagne, harvested by hand in 2010, on a 64 years old plot.

Palate:

 

Bright tension, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and underlined by the brilliant minerality of the locality « Les Falloises », in the Premier Cru of Bergères-lès-Vertus.

 

The mouth becomes caressing, characteristic sign of 8 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, before disgorgement.

 

With this Cuvée Vieille Vigne 2010, François Vallois, wine grower and cellar master, signs a rare champagne with a very good value for money.
