The
Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the champagne, affirms its delicacy,
initially shy, and then open with its aromas of apple, pear, citrus fruits and
white flowers mixed with heady scents of exotic fruits obtained by the perfect
control of the alcoholic fermentation of the base wines.
Later,
the maturity of the cuvée is revealed
with fragrances of pastries and then of roasted coffee, results of the long
ageing on laths of the bottles, with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts before riddling
and disgorgement.
Palate:
Brilliant
vitality at the opening, characteristic sign of the purity of the first juices
rigorously selected during the soft pressing of the grapes, respecting the champenois tradition.
Later,
the tension gives way to a creamy roundness obtained by the judicious
fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and by the adjusted
dosage during the disgorgement.
Dense
and balanced finish, complemented by the silky effervescence.
Endless
length on the palate.
With
this Cuvée Florence Blanc de Blancs, Thomas Cheurlin, wine grower, signs a
joyful interpretation of the Chardonnay in the beautiful terroirs of the Côte des Bar.
To taste from aperitif to meal, with seafood and white fish casserole,
for example.
From a long line of wine growers, Thomas
Cheurlin, driven by a real desire to reduce the environmental footprint,
cultivates with passion, in the Côte des Bar, his 22 hectares vineyard
certified Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale. Grapes harvested by
hand at perfect ripeness are delicately pressed in the pressing centre of the
Champagne house Cheurlin-Dangin completed in 2012, and then vinified with
accuracy to compose an inspired range of authentic champagnes.
