Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 30 euros per
bottle)
Original and elegant
presentation.
Aspect:
Golden, crystal-clear.
Fine bubbles.
Fine bead of foam.
Nose:
Sensual and endless
aromatic harmony.
Notes of citrus fruits,
apple and pear, barely mentholated, signatures of the minority of Chardonnay
(10%), gently interlace the aromas of red fruits and spices, characteristic
sign of the Pinot Noir (90%).
Later, the nose becomes
caressing, with its scents of caramel and roasted coffee, expressions of the
joyful maturity of the cuvée obtained
by 3 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate:
Pure and dense opening
thanks to the rigorous selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the grapes, highlighted by the
brilliant minerality of the old vines of the Grand Cru of Bouzy.
Remarkable presence,
supported by the accurate dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement and
supported by subtle woody notes, result of the vinification and ageing of the
base wines in oak barrels aged of 2 to 10 ans, produced in Burgundy.
Tasty finish, with a
bright vitality, reinforced by the stop of the malolactic fermentation of the
base wines.
Great length on the
palate.
With this Cuvée Anaïs
Jolicoeur 2012, Hervé Savès, its producer, offers us an exciting Champagne,
splendid interpretation of the year 2012 and vibrant homage to the wife of the
founder of the House.
To taste from aperitif
to meal, with a pan-fried fillet of sea bass, for example.
Founded by Eugène Louis,
the Champagne House Camille Savès has been perpetuating the champenois traditions, from generation
to generation, since 1894. Driven by the passion of terroirs, Hervé Savès now assisted by his son Arthur, cultivates
with care the 10 hectares of old vines of the wine estate mainly classified as
Grands Crus, to produce with accuracy, between vinifications in barrels and
stop of the malolactic fermentations, around 85,000 bottles per year of highly
expressive Champagnes, of which 80% are exported.
