Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around 36 euros per bottle)
Luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Gold, crystal-clear.
Fine and dynamic bubbles.
Delicate corolla of bubbles.
Nose:
Intense and touching aromatic breath.
The Chardonnay, exclusive varietal, carefully
harvested by hand in 2010 in the Grand Cru plots of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger is
revealed heady with its scents of apple and pear compote, citrus fruits and
white flowers, driven by an iodized and mentholated breath.
Patience is rewarded by the appearance of
sensual touches of caramel and toast, characteristic signs of the well-defined
maturity of the cuvée obtained by 7
years of ageing on laths of the bottles, with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts, before riddling
and disgorgement.
Palate:
Vertiginous purity at the opening thanks to
the rigorous selection of the first juices (cuvée)
during the soft pressing of the grapes, reinforced by the adjusted dosage with
3 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
The mouth becomes a sensual caress,
highlighted by the vibrant minerality of the chalk, supported by the silky
effervescence.
Life-giving finish, subtly peppery.
Fabulous length on the palate.
For this Millésime
2010 Extra Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, Valérie Moncuit and her mother
Nicole offer us an unforgettable champagne, to perpetuate with talent the
signature of Pierre Moncuit.
Ideal as an aperitif or during
a meal, with a sea bass on plancha and new potatoes, for example.
Heir to over a century of champenois tradition, Valérie Moncuit
accompanies her mother Nicole on the way set by her grandfather Pierre Moncuit,
to enhance the soul of the blanc de
blancs Grands Crus. A 20 hectares vineyard cultivated with love,
exclusively planted with Chardonnay, of which 15 hectares in the exceptional
Grand Cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and a gentle and accurate œnology in small
thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, give birth each year to around 200,000
bottles of exceptional champagnes.
