Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around 38 euros per bottle)
Original and bright bottle.
Aspect:
Golden,
decorated with reserved emerald glints.
Refined
bubbles.
Bead
scattered bubbles.
Nose:
Subtle
and heady.
Delicate
aromas of citrus fruits, apple, pear and white flowers, evolving towards exotic
fruits touches (pineapple, mango and litchi), enhanced by a iodized and
mentholated breath, signatures of the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the cuvée, harvested by hand in 2009 in the
chalky Premiers Crus terroirs of
Bisseuil in the Mountain of Reims and Grauves in the Côte des Blancs.
Later,
the well-defined maturity of the Champagne, result of 6 years of ageing on
laths of the bottles before disgorgement, is revealed with generous scents of
honey, pastries and roasted coffee.
Palate:
Dense
and pure attack, definitely due to the selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the grapes
and to the adjusted dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
The
mouth then becomes gentle and creamy thanks to the judicious fulfillment of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines, highlighted by a delicious
minerality.
Tasty
and acidulous finish.
Very
great length on the palate.
With this Cuvée
Saint Nicaise – Premier Cru – Blanc de Blancs millésime 2009, Bruno
Charlemagne, Oenologist and cellar master of the Champagne House Bauchet,
offers us a remarkable interpretation of the Chardonnay.
To
taste from aperitif to meals among friends, with a tuna tartar and oysters, for
example.
Artisan
wine growers from fathers to sons since 1920, the Champagne House Bauchet tries
its hardest to interpret with sensitivity, in Bisseuil, the 7 terroirs of its vineyard of 34 hectares
settled in the Côte des Blancs, Mountain of Reims and Côte des Bar. Now
directed by Bruno Bauchet and his cousin Florence, the House accurately
produces around 250,000 bottles of authentic Champagnes each year, marketed in
France, but also more and more abroad.
