Champagne Bertrand Devavry - Cuvée Carbon Vintage 2007


Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017

(around 300 euros per bottle)
Mythical Champagne

Original and classy presentation, decorated with carbon, noble and original material. Cap 24 carat gold plated.

Aspect:

Golden, solar.

Fine bubbles.

Elegant bead of scattered bubbles.

Nose:

Radiant, rich and generous.

Initially marked by the Chardonnay (36%) carefully selected in the Grands Crus of Avize and Cramant in the Côte des Blancs, with its delicate scents of citrus fruits, apple, pear, apricot and raisin.

The nose then establishes itself, with gourmet aromas of red and black fruits, enhanced by noble spices, signatures of the Pinot Noir selected in the Mountain of Reims on the Premiers Crus of Champillon and Avenay-Val-d’Or, and the Grands Crus of Mailly-Champagne and Verzenay.

Later, the cuvée unveils its joyful and touching maturity, obtained by 7 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles, at 12°c, before disgorgement.

Palate:

Deep opening, expression of the old vines (35 to 50 years old).

The mouth then reveals a rare presence, magnificent match between reserved power and heady minerality, perhaps obtained by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and reinforced by the adjusted dosage with only 4 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

Dense and delicious finish.

Exceptional length on the palate.


With this Cuvée Carbon, original creation of Alexandre Méa, Jean-Loup Méa, his father, cellar master and oenologist, signs an exceptional wine, festive and gastronomic at once.

To taste from aperitif to meal, to accompany a saddle of lamb roasted in herb coating, for example.

Settled in Champillon for 5 generations, the Champagne House Devavry perpetuates the family tradition, between love for great terroirs of Champagne and endless search for perfection. A vineyard of 10 hectares spread over 7 Crus and cultivated with care, and a gentle and accurate oenology, uncompromising, allow to produce around 85,000 bottles of exceptional Champagnes per year.
