Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 15 euros
per bottle)
Luxurious
and neat presentation.
Aspect :
·
Bright and dense hue, salmon
coloured.
·
Fine
bubbles.
·
Elegant bead, persistent on
the periphery of the flute, after service.
Nose :
·
Radiant, taking you into an
intense and harmonious aromatic farandole.
·
Flavours of fresh red and
black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, …),
barely spicy, signatures of the macerated Pinot Noir (80%), underlined by
delicate fragrances of apple, pear, citrus fruits, apricot and grapes,
expression of the Chardonnay (20%).
·
Patience is rewarded by the
appearance of smooth notes of cherry liqueur.
Palate :
·
Balanced attack, ample, due to the timely stop of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines, hallmark of the House, ideally
offset by the generous dosage, with 11 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
·
Then the mouth becomes warm, definitely thanks to the
vinification on skins of the Pinot Noir perfectly controlled, with a short
maceration and an early racking before adding wines of the Chardonnay after the
alcoholic fermentation.
·
Deliciously acidulous finish, supported by spices.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this Brut
Rosé, Frédéric Roger, the Chef de
Cave of the Champagne House Cristian Senez, was able to choose in 2010 the
best grapes on the terroir of
Fontette, to compose a Champagne rosé with touching maceration, joyful contrast
between freshness and sensuality.
To taste
from aperitif to meal, to accompany some obsiblue prawns with broccoli and
pistachio, for example.
Established in the terroir of Fontette, in the Côte des
Bar, The Champagne House Cristian Senez practises an environmentally friendly
wine growing on its vineyard of 30 hectares. Around 500,000 bottles of high
quality champagne and 5,000 bottles of coteaux champenois are rigorously and
passionately produced, and marketed each year (a quarter for export), since
1973.
