Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 25 euros per bottle)
Luxurious
presentation in an original bottle.
Aspect :
·
White gold, with
some bright green glints.
·
Very fine bubbles.
·
Reserved bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Fine and harmonious, it slowly
reveals its whole complexity.
·
Hints of citrus fruits,
hazelnut, apricot and grape, signatures of the majority of Chardonnay (60%).
·
The black varietals (25% of
Pinot Noir and 15% of Pinot Meunier) are then unveiled, with a sensual
farandole of red and black fruits, subtly spicy.
·
Patience is
rewarded by the appearance of radiant aromas of honey and caramel, barely
roasted, expressions of the maturity of the cuvée
obtained by the ageing on laths of the bottles for 3 years before disgorgement,
enhanced by the maturing of the base wines for 4 months in barrels (8 to 6
years old).
Palate :
·
Marked attack allowed by the rigorous selection of
first juices (cuvée), purer, during
the pressing of the grapes, quickly replaced by an ample and warm roundness,
reinforced by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the
base wines.
·
Silky
effervescence.
·
Tasty finish coupled with delicate spices (pepper and
liquorice).
·
Great length on the palate.
With this
cuvée Grand Assemblage, Nicolas
Dubois, wine grower at heart, was able to compose the ideal blending between
the varietals, the terroirs and the years (85% from 2010 and 15% from the
reserve wines) to offer us a touching traditionally blended Champagne.
To taste
from aperitif to meal, to accompany a puff pastry with wild mushrooms and
crunchy fennel salad, for example.
Founded in 1949 by Armand Goutorbe,
the Champagne House Jeeper carefully cultivates the family vineyard of 40
hectares mainly planted with Chardonnay, completed by a selected supply of 180
hactares. The association with the Reybier Group in 2013 and a controlled
oenology in the service of the pursuit of excellence give birth to 500,000
bottles of quality Champagnes each year under the Jeeper brand.
