Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
37 euros per bottle)
Sober and neat presentation.
Aspect:
Golden
and brilliant.
Very
fine bubbles.
Reserved
bead of foam.
Nose:
Radiant,
it propose us its heady and endless aromatic farandole.
The
scents of red and black fruits, coupled with improbable spices, characteristic
signs of the Pinot Noir (50%), gently interlace the delicate perfumes of white
fruits and exotic fruits, expressions of the Chardonnay (50%).
Later,
the Champagne reveals its generous maturity with its aromas of barely roasted
honey and caramel, result of 8 years of ageing on laths of the bottles in the
cellars of the House, before disgorgement.
Palate:
The
pure attack, obtained by the selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the
grapes, supported by the vibrant minerality, leads to a soft and enveloping
warmth, reinforced by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation
of the base wines.
Dense
and tasty finish, thanks to the selection of the oldest vines of the wine
estate.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this Millésime Brut Grand Cru 2006, Philippe Secondé, wine grower and
oenologist, was able to vinify his bas wines in small volumes, with a low
dosage of SO2 and an adjusted dosage with 6 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement, to set to music the touching the score of the Grand Cru of Bouzy.
To
taste during meals among friends, with woodcocks in pans, for example.
Established
in Bouzy, the Champagne House E. Barnaut directed by Philippe Secondé and his
wife since 1985, soon joined by their son Guillaume, sixth generation of
passionate wine growers, perpetuates the champenois
traditions since 1874. A vineyard of 17 hectares of which 12.5 hectares settled
in the Grands Crus of the Mountain of Reims (95% Bouzy, completed by Ambonnay
and Louvois), including the famous Barnaut Clos, gives birth to around 100,000
bottles of Champagnes and 5,000 bottles of Coteaux Champenois, inspired
interpretation of their terroir of origin.
