Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020
(around 24 euros per bottle)
Sober and elegant bottle.
Aspect:
Pale
gold and crystal-clear.
Fine
and dynamic bubbles.
Fine
bead of foam, persistent.
Nose:
Radiant
delicacy, source of rare emotions.
Harmonious
ballet of aromas of jammy red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry,
blackberry and blackcurrant), coupled with a tinge of liquorice, signatures of
the Pinot Noir (90%), highlighted by the scents of apple, pear, citrus fruits
and white flowers, refined characteristic signs of the Chardonnay (10%).
Later,
notes of brioche and then of roasted cocoa assert the fullness of the
champagne, obtained by 6 years of patient ageing of the bottles, with autolysis
of the prise de mousse yeasts, before
riddling and disgorgement.
Palate:
Lively
and dense opening, reinforced by the absence of dosage (no sugar added at
disgorgement) and underlined by the deep and bright minerality.
The
purity gives way to a joyful balance, supported by an ample and generous
roundness, definitely thanks to the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines.
Deliciously
acidulous finish, punctuated by subtle spices and driven by a soft
effervescence.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this cuvée Cuvée Sig’Nature, Sophie Moussié Milesi was able to
orchestrate with sensitivity the meeting of the Grands Crus (Louvois and Bouzy
for the majority of Pinot Noir) and Premier Cru (Ludes for the Chardonnay) terroirs, in the Mountain of Reims, to
unveil all their sensuality.
To taste from aperitif to meal, with monkfish skewers, for example.
Rocked by the rhythm of vineyard and wine works since childhood, the
love of champagne deeply rooted, Sophie Moussié Milesi continues with passion
the family adventure following her mother and her grandfather. Assisted by her
parents and her husband, she cultivates around 9.5 hectares of vines
established in the Mountain of Reims, to reveal all her fémininity producing
each year around 60,000 bottles of a range of inspired champagnes.
