Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
15 euros per bottle)
Original and sober presentation.
Aspect:
With
gold, brilliant.
Fine
and dynamic bubbles.
Delicate
and persistent bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Festive,
it immediately provides an intense pleasure.
A
joyful farandole of red and black fruits compote (blackberry, raspberry,
blueberry, strawberry and cherry), punctuated by subtle spices, signature of
the Meunier (90%) and the Pinot Noir (10%), takes us into a touching whirl of
sensuality.
Later,
notes of caramel and roasted hazelnut translate the emerging maturity of the cuvée, obtained by 3 years of ageing on
laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate:
Lively
attack, coupled with a delicious tension, definitely the result of the rigorous
selection of the first juices (cuvée),
purer, during the pressing of the grapes.
The
mouth is then revealed deep and warm, thanks to the fulfillment of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines and to the accurate dosage, with 8
g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Tasty
finish.
Remarkable
length on the palate.
With
this emblematic Cuvée Tradition of the Champagne House Jacques Copin, Bruno
Copin, its producer, was able to select his best grapes, harvested by hand in
2012 (90%) and 2011 (10%), to rebuild the blending of the historical terroirs of the House (Verneuil,
Vincelles and Vandières) in the Marne Valley, and to offer us this blanc de noirs with an excellent value
for money.
Champagne
for all occasions, from aperitif to meal, with a guinea fowl leg stuffed with
mushrooms, for example.
Settled
in Verneuil, in the Marne Valley, the Champagne House Jacques Copin has been
perpetuating with dynamism the family traditions for six generation. Now, Bruno
Copin assisted by his wife Marielle and joined by his two children, Lucile and
Mathieu, cultivates with passion his vineyard of 10 hectares, in a personal
eco-responsible approach, to produce with care around 75,000 bottles per year
of Champagnes with personality, under the brand Jacques Copin created in 1963.
