Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
21 euros per bottle)
Generous shape, for a sober and luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Golden
and brilliant.
Bubbles
of great finesse.
Fine
bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Endless
harmony of scents, source of intense emotions.
Great
maturity, result of 6 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before
disgorgement, with its scents of pastries evolving towards roasted coffee,
enhanced by subtle woody notes obtained by the vinification and the ageing of
20% of the base wines in 2 to 4 years old barrels, for 5 months, with regular bâtonnages.
The
Chardonnay (52%) is then slowly unveiled, with delicate hints of white fruits,
almond ans hazelnut, supported by a iodized and mentholated breath, interlacing
joyful aromas of candied red fruits, signatures of the Meunier (31%) and the
Pinot Noir (17%).
Palate:
Pure
opening, definitely thanks to the selection of the first juices (cuvée), during the pressing of the
grapes.
The
mouth is then revealed deep and warm, result of the judicious fulfillment of
the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
Tasty
finish, dense and mineral, punctuated by delicious spices.
Great
length on the palate.
With this Cuvée
Vintage Millésime 2008, Vincent Huber, its producer, was able to select his
best plots, in the terroirs of
Chavot-Courcourt, Barbonne-Fayel and La Celle-sous-Chantemerle, to extract the
quintessence of the year 2008.
To
taste from aperitif to meal, with a fatted chicken from Champagne with boletus
mushrooms, for example.
Founded by Diogène
Tissier in 1931, the Champagne House Diogène Tissier et Fils perpetuates the champenois traditions, between expertise
and friendliness. A vineyard of 9 hectares cultivated with passion, mainly
settled on the sunny hillsides of Chavot-Courcourt, south of Epernay, and a
mindful vinification of the three champenois
varietals (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier) harvested by hand at perfect
ripeness, allow to produce around 100,000 bottles of quality Champagnes per
year.
