Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 42 euros per bottle)
Refined numbered bottle in a magnificent purple box, evocative of the
Meunier and effective protection against light.
Aspect:
Golden
and brilliant.
Fine
and dynamic bubbles.
Fine
bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Radiant,
powerful and elegant, it takes us into an endless and graceful aromatic whirl.
The
fragrances of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and
blackberry), liquorice and kirsch, lovingly interlace the scents of citrus
fruits, nice ripe apple and pear, highlighted by a mentholated breath,
signatures of the Meunier, exclusive varietal of the champagne.
Palate:
Heady
vitality at the opening, highlighted by the absence of dosage (no sugar added
at disgorgement) and supported by the minerality.
The
mouth establishes itself, dense and harmonious, coupled with a delicate structure
and cadenced by the lively effervescence.
We
find again the red fruits and citrus fruits at the end, punctuated by soft
spices, supported by a breath of freshness and a beautiful bitterness.
Remarkable
length on the palate.
With
this reserved cuvée L’écrin By Angel
(738 bottles), Angélique Lacroix was able to accompany with gentleness grapes
of Meunier to enhance the original clay-limestone terroir of Montigny-sous-Châtillon and reveal all its force and
purity.
Ideal for a buffet dinner among friends or a romantic meal with coated
piccatas of sweetbread and truffles, for example.
Driven by the desire to perpetuate the family traditions handed down
from her paternal grandmother and then from her father, Angélique Lacroix
joined the family wine estate in 2010 to create her own brand of champagnes.
Perfectionist, she puts her feminine sensitivity in the service of the bunches
of grapes of the 3 champenois
varietals, carefully harvested by hand in plots cultivated in the greatest
respect of the environment in the terroirs
of the Marne Valley. She crafts a range of touching champagnes, mainly from
Meunier (70%).
