Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
36 euros per bottle)
Sober and refined bottle.
Aspect:
Robe bright, delicately copper-coloured.
Fine and festive bubbles.
Fine and regular bead of foam, persistent
after service of the flute.
Nose:
Joyful and endless aromatic harmony.
The aromas of red and black fruits
(blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and blackberry), signatures of
the black varietals (50% of Pinot Noir, of which 8% produced as red wine, and
30% of Meunier), immediately establish themselves, radiant.
Later, the Chardonnay (20%) is revealed,
elegant, with outstanding touches of apple, pear, citrus fruits, peach and
mango.
Palate:
Vertiginous purity at the opening, reinforced
by the rigorous selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the soft pressing of the grapes.
The mineral vitality, seduction of the chalk,
takes us into an ample and warm caress, definitely underlined by the accurate
dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
We find again in the finish the red fruits
already perceived at the nose, driven by a spark of delicious spices.
Great length on the palate.
With this Rosé aged for three years in the
deep cellars of the house, Christophe Roques-Boizel, cellar master of the Champagne
house Boizel, offers us a pure and generous delicacy, result of the radiant
blending of red wine and white wine, varietals, vintages (20% of reserve wines)
and chosen terroirs.
To taste from aperitif to meal, why not with
a with a cheesecake and red fruits, for example.
