Original and luxurious presentation.
Aspect:
White
gold, brilliant.
Very
fine bubbles.
Elegant
corolla of bubbles.
Nose:
Initially
impenetrable and touching, it slowly unveils its delicious complexity.
Aromas
of citrus fruits, apple and pear, coupled with delicate scents of almond,
hazelnut and white flowers supported by a mentholated breath, signatures of the
Chardonnay (60%) and the Pinot Blanc (40%) harvested nice ripe in 2012, in the
plot “le Champ du clos” (90 ares) south-facing, close to the Abbaye des Mores,
near Celles-sur-Ource.
Palate:
Lively
opening, thanks to the selection of the first juices (cuvée), purer, during the pressing of the grapes, reinforced by an
adjusted dosage with only 5 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
The
mouth is then revealed perfectly balanced, between tasty minerality and
caressing warmth, supported by subtle woody notes obtained by the perfect
control of the vinification and the ageing of the base wines in 600 litres oak casks
for Pinot Blanc wines and in 228 litres oak barrels for 50% of the Chardonnay
wines.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this Blanc de Blancs « Champ du Clos » Extra Brut, Thomas Cheurlin
and Philippe Gantois, its producers, were able to implement a gentle and
accurate oenology in the service of an ancestral varietal (Pinot Blanc), to
offer us a remarkable Champagne.
To taste from
aperitif to meal, with a fillet of bass and its potatoes, for example.
Wine grower in Celles-sur-Ource,
Thomas Cheurlin has been perpetuating the family traditions for 10 generations.
A rigorous selection of the best grapes from his vineyard of 22 hectares,
established on the well exposed hillsides of the valley of the Ource, the Arce
and the Seine, cultivated with the desire to reduce the environmental footprint
(Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale certifications), give birth to
high quality Champagnes, under the brand Comte de Cheurlin.
