Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 20 euros per bottle)
Sober and elegant look.
Aspect :
·
Golden
and bright.
·
Particularly
fine bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of foam,
persistent.
Nose :
·
Radiant
and sensual.
·
Subtle fragrances of citrus
fruits, nice ripe apple and pear, almond, hazelnut and white flowers,
underlined by a breath of freshness, signatures of the Chardonnay (80%), chosen
in Grauves and Bisseuil, interlace the generous scents of Pinot Noir (20%)
selected in Bisseuil, with its notes of red and black fruits (cassis,
raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry) and soft spices, in a heady harmony.
·
Later, the cuvée reveals its emerging maturity, with
touches of caramel and toast, results of the ageing on laths of the bottles
before disgorgement.
Palate :
·
Neat attack thanks to the judicious selection of the
first juices (cuvée) during the soft
pressing of the grapes harvested by hand.
·
The mouth is then slowly revealed, sensual, reinforced
by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and
the accurate dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, enhanced by the
creamy effervescence.
·
Tasty and
balanced finish.
·
Remarkable length on the palate.
Bruno Charlemagne,
Chef de Cave of the Champagne House Bauchet, was able to blend with talent different
vintages (79% from 2012 and 21% from 2011) to compose a high-level Cuvée
Signature Premier Cru, touching interpretation of the Premier Cru terroirs of Bisseuil and Grauves.
To taste from
aperitif to meal, to accompany a steamed gilthead bream, for example.
Fourth
generation of artisan wine growers settled in Bisseuil in the Mountain of Reims,
the Champagne House Bauchet passionately cultivates its vineyard of 34 hectares
planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A controlled oenology, in the deep
respect of the champenois traditions,
gives birth to around 250,000 bottles of great quality Champagnes each year,
variations inspired around the seven terroirs
of the House.
