Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 52
euros per bottle)
Luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Pale gold, bright.
Fine bubbles.
Creamy texture.
Nose:
Radiant breath,
reinforced by the long period between disgorgement on the spot and marketing (5
months).
Aromas of candied citrus
fruits, apple and white flowers, highlighted by an iodized and mentholated
breath, heady signatures of the Chardonnay (30%), carefully selected in the
Grands Crus of Avize and Cramant, in the Côte des Blancs.
Later, the Pinot Noir of
the Grand Cru of Aÿ (70%) gently establishes itself, with fragrances of red and
black fruits supported by the generous maturity and its gentle touches of
chocolate and roasted coffee, obtained by 5 years of ageing on laths of the
bottles with traditional corks held by a clip.
Palate:
Vertiginous purity,
obtained by the perfect control of the malolactic fermentation of the base
wines and by the adjusted dosage, with less than 6 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement.
Highlighted by tension
and minerality, the mouth becomes a creamy caress, coupled with a remarkable
complexity definitely thanks to the use of particular yeasts, specifically
selected by the House for the alcoholic fermentation of the lallierbase wines.
Fabulous length on the
palate.
With this cuvée Ouvrage
Grand Cru Elevé sous liège of the Icône range worked by hand, Francis Tribaut,
cellar master, was able to compose the blending of vintages to offer us an
exceptional wine.
To taste in wine
glasses, as an aperitif or during a meal, with a lobster and combava, for
example.
Founded in 1906 by René
Lallier, the Champagne House Lallier continues its endless quest for
excellence, between the cellar of Oger and the cellars of Aÿ. Since 2004, under
the leadership of Francis Tribaut, visionary œnologist, the House is based on
its vineyard of 15 hectares, exclusively planted with Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir, mainly in Grands Crus, to shape with passion around 400,000 bottles per
year of high level Champagnes.
