Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 23
euros per bottle)
Luxurious and neat
bottle.
Aspect:
Gold, deep and
brilliant.
Fine bubbles.
Elegant bead of bubbles,
persistent.
Nose:
Endless and touching
compilation of harmonious fragrances.
Initially marked by the
majority of Chardonnay (75%), with its delicate scents of candied citrus
fruits, pear, apple, apricot and raisin, supported by an iodized and
mentholated breath.
The Pinot Noir (25%) is
slowly unveiled with notes of candied red and black fruits, barely spicy,
enhanced by the radiant maturity of the cuvée
obtained by 9 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement, with
warm aromas of honey evolving towards chocolate and roasted coffee.
Palate:
Opening deep and
balanced.
The mouth becomes
caressing and sensual, ample and warm, reinforced by the adjusted dosage with
10 g/L of grape sugar added at disgorgement, and highlighted by the silky
effervescence.
Lively finish,
deliciously acidulous and decorated with nuances of caramel, obtained by the
selection of the first juices (cuvée)
during the pressing of the grapes and by the timely stop of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines.
Remarkable length on the
palate.
With this Brut Millésimé
2005, Frédéric Roger, cellar master of the Champagne House Cristian Senez,
offers us a well-defined Champagne, with a very good value for money, unforgettable
interpretation of the beautiful terroirs
of Fontette, dans the côte of the Bar.
Ideal to accompany your
intimate moments, from aperitif to meal, with roasted Norway lobsters, for
example.
Founded by Cristian
Senez, initially agricultural worker and then cellar master of the Fontette
cooperative, the Champagne House Cristian Senez perpetuates the family
traditions since the first vine stocks were planted in the fifties and the
marketing of the first bottles under the eponymous brand in 1973. Currently,
the 28 hectares vineyard gives birth each year to around 415,000 bouteilles of
highly expressive Champagnes, of which 30% are exported.
