Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around
30 euros per bottle)
Sober
and luxurious presentation.
Aspect :
·
Golden and crystal clear.
·
Extremely fine bubbles.
·
Fine and
persistent bead of foam.
Nose :
·
Radiant
and sensual.
·
Initially marked by the
Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the Champagne, harvested by hand in 2007 on
the best plots of old vines (over 35 years old) of the Grands Crus of Cramant
(90%) and Chouilly (10%), with scents of citrus fruits (lemon), apple, peach,
white flowers, almond and hazelnut.
·
Then heightened by the great
maturity of the cuvée, result of 6
years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement, with some scents
of butter, caramel and brioche, barely toasted, coupled with a delicate touch
of spices.
Palate :
·
Dense and lively attack, reinforced by the rigorous
selection of the cuvée (first juices,
purer) during the soft pressing of the grapes.
·
The mouth then becomes deep and caressing, definitely
thanks to the fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and
to the generous dosage with 11 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
·
Tasty and mineral
finish.
·
Very good length on the palate.
This Cuvée Signé
François – Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Millésime 2007, new creation from François
Larmandier, appears to be remarkable, touching interpretation of the noble terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
To taste as an
aperitif of during the meal, with a seasonal vegetables in pastry and lobster
tail, for example.
