Champagne J. Charpentier - Pierre-Henri

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2024
(around 58 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Gold, brilliant and crystal-clear.

Nose

Heady fragrances of apricot, peach and exotic fruits, supported by of beautiful roasted hints, signatures of the Meunier, exclusive varietal of the cuvée harvested by hand in the oldest plots of the wine estate (more than 50 years old), in Reuil and Châtillon-sur-Marne, in the Marne Valley, and then vinified in new oak barrels before a 10 months ageing with bâtonnages.

Palate

Delicious tension reinforced by the stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and the adjusted dosage with only 2.5 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, prelude to a sensual caress, result of 9 years of ageing on laths of the bottles.

With this cuvée Pierre-Henri, Jean-Marc Charpentier, wine grower and œnologist, signs a touching homage to the founders of the house.
