Sensual and radiant
breath, source of pleasure.
The Pinot Noir,
exclusive varietal of the Champagne, carefully harvested by hand in 2013, at
perfect ripeness, in the Premier Cru terroir
of Tauxières-Mutry in the Mountain of Reims, takes us into a whirl of
fragrances of red and black fruits and cherry liqueur, delicately mentholated.
Later, the nose opens up
with delicious touches of apple and pear, supported by the aromas of caramel
and cocoa, gentle expressions of the maturity of the cuvée obtained by 3 years of patient ageing on laths of the
bottles, before manual riddling and disgorgement.
Palate:
Pure tension at the
opening, obtained by the soft fractionated pressing, typically champenois expertise, but also by the
timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and by the absence
of dosage (no sugar added at disgorgement).
Remarkable presence,
highlighted by the soft flavours of apple already perceived at the nose, and
driven by the silky effervescence.
Deliciously acidulous
finish.
Great length on the
palate.
For this Blanc de Noirs
Extra Brut Premier Cru, Ingrid Oudart, its producer, put her œnological
creativity in the service of the beautiful year 2013, to offer us a touching
Champagne and with a good value for money.
To taste from aperitif
to meal, with duck slivers and their honey sauce, for example.
From a long line of
passionate wine growers Ingrid Oudart now presides over the destiny of the Champagne House Guy de Chassey, to
perpetuate in Louvois, Grand Cru of the Mountain of Reims, the champenois traditions and expertises. A
vineyard of 9.5 hectares cultivated with care, in the respect of the
environment, allows the House to produce with talent around 60,000 bottles per
year of a range of Champagnes with personality.
