Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
18 euros per bottle)
Luxurious presentation.
Aspect:
Golden
and bright.
Particularly
fine bubbles.
Bead
of scattered and refined bubbles, persistent.
Nose:
Charming,
it takes us into its radiant and endless farandole.
Initially
marked by the Pinot Noir (40%), harvested by hand in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and
Avenay-Val-d’Or, with aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, raspberry,
strawberry and blackberry), coupled with delicate spices.
The
majority of Chardonnay (60%), chosen in Avenay-Val-d’Or and Bisseuil, is then
revealed with elegance, on heady scents of apple, pear and citrus fruits,
coupled with subtle touches of exotic fruits obtained by the perfect control of
the alcoholic fermentation of the base wines.
Patience
is rewarded by the appearance of warm perfumes of honey, evolving towards
chocolate and roasted coffee, expressions of the beautiful maturity of the
Champagne obtained by 4 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before
disgorgement.
Palate:
Pure
attack thanks to the conscientious selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the soft pressing of the
grapes, supported by a gentle minerality.
The
mouth becomes warm and deep, characteristic sign of the old plots of vine (more
than 35 years old), reinforced by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines.
Dense
finish, deliciously acidulous.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this Millésime 2010 Premier Cru, Antoine Bouvet, its producer, offers us a
touching interpretation of the year 2010.
To
taste from aperitif to meal, with a Scottish salmon, for example.
Established in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ for more
than 30 years, the Champagne House Guy Bouvet perpetuates with passion the
family tradition under the leadership of Antoine Bouvet, dynamic grandson of
the founder of the brand. The best grapes of the 5 hectares vineyard cultivated
with care in the Premiers Crus of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d’Or and Bisseuil,
give birth to around 10,000 bottles of quality Champagnes per year.
