Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
20 euros per bottle)
Original and luxurious presentation.
Aspect:
Golden
and sparkling.
Fine
and festive bubbles.
Refined
and persistent bead of bubbles.
Nose:
It
immediately reveals a generous complexity.
Radiant
aromas of apple, pear, candied citrus fruits, peach, hazelnut and white
flowers, signatures of the 15% of Chardonnay.
Later,
the scents of the red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry, raspberry,
strawberry and blueberry), coupled with delicate spices are unveiled,
expressions of the black varietals (65% of Pinot Noir and 20% of Meunier),
before giving way to gourmet touches of honey, caramel and toasted bread,
translations of the delicious maturity obtained by 3 years of ageing on laths
of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate:
Balance
opening, between lively intensity, result of the rigorous selection of the
first juices (cuvée) during the
pressing of the grapes, and touching minerality.
The
mouth becomes caress, deep and dense, reserved, definitely thanks to the fulfillment
of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and to the accurate dosage,
with 10 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Tasty
finish, supported by the gentle effervescence.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this Cuvée Prestige, Marjorie Navarre, oenologist of the brand, and Nicolas
Gueusquin, were able to choose their best grapes in 2011, to offer us a
remarkable interpretation of the noble terroirs
around Epernay.
To
taste from aperitif to meal, with goat cheese and honey puff pastries, for
example.
Since
its creation 22 years ago, the Champagne House Nicolas Gueusquin continues to
rise under the guidance of Nicolas Gueusquin, dynamic director, between the
historic site of Dizy and the new 7000 m² production site of Oiry, completed in
2012. A vineyard of 10 hectares, completed by a rigorously selected supply,
allow to produce and market around 250,000 bottles of quality Champagnes per
year.
