with harmonious forms. Luxurious and careful presentation.

First
with warm scents of honey, beeswax, delicious brioche aromas, translations of
the maturity of the cuvée obtained by
autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts for 4 years during the ageing on laths
of the bottles, before disgorgement.
·
The
Chardonnay (1 third) is then expressed, full of finesse, with some subtle
fragrances of apple, pear and citrus fruits, coupled with an iodized and
mentholated touch.
·
Patience
is rewarded by the appearance of radiant scents of red fruits (blackcurrant,
raspberry and strawberry) brightened up with soft spices, signatures of the
Pinot Noir (2 thirds).
Palate :
·
Lively opening, supported by a touching minerality,
thanks to the control of the soft pressing, with rigorous selection of the
first juices (cuvée), purer.
·
The mouth then becomes caressing, warm and creamy,
thanks to the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base
wines and to the generous dosage with 10 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
·
Dense finish.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this Cuvée Prestige, Patrick Demière, its
producer, was able to find the ideal blending between the varietals and the
years of harvest (50% from 2009 and 50% from 2008), to compose an inspired
interpretation of the Grand Cru of Ambonnay, exclusive origin of the grapes.
To taste
as an aperitif or during a meal, to accompany a piglet in pastry with its
porcini mushrooms emulsion, for example.
Wine
