Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
25 euros per bottle)
Original and elegant bottle.
Aspect:
Golden, brilliant.
Fine and festive bubbles.
Reserved bead of foam.
Nose:
Radiant, source of intense emotions.
Fragrances of jammy red and black fruits,
punctuated by subtle spices and highlighted by a spark of mint, captivating
signatures of the Pinot Noir, exclusive varietal of the champagne.
Later, the touches of honey reveal the
emerging maturity of the cuvée,
result of 24 months of ageing on laths of the bottles before riddling and
disgorgement.
Palate:
Magnificent tension at the opening, full of
elegance, supported by the adjusted dosage with 5.5 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement, underlined by the delicate minerality.
Generous power, almost structured, the one of
the Pinot Noir, definitely reinforced by the judicious fulfilment of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
We find again at the end the red fruits
already perceived at the nose.
Impressive length on the palate.
For this Cuvée Contraste - Blanc de Pinot
Noir - Extra Brut, last creation of the Champagne house Bauchet, Bruno
Charlemagne, œnologist and cellar master, orchestrates with talent the blending
of vintages (25% of reserve wines) and terroirs
of the Côte des Bar (Bragelogne-Beauvoir and Bar-sur-Seine) and of the Mountain
of Reims (Bisseuil), to stage the heady duality of the Pinot Noir, full of
contrasts.
Ideal from aperitif to meal, with a quail
with grapes, for example.
Driven by the love of champagne symbolised by
the heart, emblem of the house, created from the meeting of the « B »
of Bauchet and a champagne glass, Bruno Bauchet and his cousin Florence
continue with passion the family saga started in 1920. They cultivate in the
greatest respect of the environment their 34 hectares vineyard, planted with
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 7 terroirs,
in the Côte des Blancs, the Mountain of Reims and the Côte des Bar, to craft
each year around 250,000 bottles of highly expressive champagnes.
