Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
17 euros per bottle)
Original and sober presentation.
Aspect:
Golden,
decorated with reserved green glints.
Refined
bubbles.
Persistent
bead of foam.
Nose:
Rich
and delicate, it takes us into a harmonious and sensual aromatic breath.
The Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the Champagne, carefully harvested by hand, reveals all its elegance, with delicate scents of lemon, grapefruit, apple, pear, apricot and grape, supported by an iodized and mentholated breath.
Later,
the Champagne unveils its maturity, with gentle soft hints of brioche and
caramel, result of 3 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, before
disgorgement, with autolysis of the prise
de mousse yeasts.
Palate:
Pure
opening, thanks to the rigorous selection of the cuvée (first juices) during the soft pressing of the grapes,
supported by an exciting minerality.
The joyful tension leads to a silky roundness, definitely obtained by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and by the adjusted dosage, at disgorgement.
Intense
and warm finish.
Great
length on the palate.
With
this Brut Blanc de Blancs, first creation of the range, Sébastien Daviaux, its
producer, was able to blend vintages according to the champenois tradition (50% from 2011, 25% from 2010 and 25% from
2009), to offer us a remarkable interpretation of the Grands Crus of the Côte
des Blancs (80% from Chouilly and 20% from Cramant).
To
taste from aperitif to meal, with a cod-fish loin marinated in dill, for
example.
Winegrower in
Chouilly, The Champagne House Sébastien Daviaux has been perpetuating the
family tradition for 4 generations. A vineyard exclusively planted with
Chardonnay in the Côte des Blancs, mainly in Grands Crus (Chouilly,
essentially, completed by Cramant), cultivated with care in the respect of the
environment, and a controlled oenology, give birth to a dynamic range of
Champagnes with personality, under the new brand Champagne Sébastien Daviaux,
created in 2014.
