Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 23 euros per bottle)
Sober and elegant bottle. Back label full of information.
Aspect:
Copper-coloured,
reflection of the controlled blending of the white base wine (88%) and red wine
from Pinot Noir (12%), in the pure champenois
tradition.
Fine
and dynamic bubbles.
Fine
bead of foam.
Nose:
Radiant,
it immediately takes us in a heady aromatic whirl, between candied red and
black fruits, signatures of the Pinot Noir (40%), and white fruits thanks to
the majority of Chardonnay (60%).
Later,
warm and toasted touches are unveiled, expressions of the great maturity of the
cuvée obtained by 3 years of ageing
on laths of the bottles.
Palate:
Beautiful
vitality at the opening, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines, including red wine.
The
mouth becomes gentleness, driven by a silky effervescence and supported by the
dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Dense
finish, highlighted by the delicious minerality of the chalk and enhanced by
the optimal maturity of the grapes harvested by hand in the best localities of
the Grand Cru of Bouzy, in the Mountain of Reims.
Endless
length on the palate.
With this Cuvée Rosé Brut - Bouzy Grand Cru,
Hervé Savès, wine grower, offers us a generous champagne rosé, brilliant delicacy.
It will accompany you from meal to dessert,
with a red fruits sabayon, for example.
While the fifth generation of passionate wine growers enters the scene
with the arrival of Arthur Savès in the wine estate, the Champagne house
Camille Savès has been perpetuating the pioneering spirit of Eugène Savès, its
founder in 1894. Talented wine grower, Hervé Savès signs each year around
85,000 bottles of touching champagnes, of which 85% are exported to the USA,
variations inspired around the soul of the noble terroirs (Grands Crus of
Bouzy, Ambonnay, Tours-sur-Marne and Premier Cru of Tauxières) of the 10
hectares vineyard of the house, cultivated in the greatest respect of the
environment.
