Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around
18 euros per bottle)
Traditional
and careful presentation.
Aspect :
·
Pale gold, bright.
·
Extremely fine bubbles.
·
Elegant bead of
bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
·
Remarkable
intensity, it provides immediately a great pleasure.
·
Generous scents of red and
black fruits (plum, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant and blueberry),
enhanced by subtle spices (pepper, cinnamon and liquorice), signatures of the
Pinot Noir, exclusive varietal of the Cuvée.
·
Later, the great maturity of
the Champagne is revealed, with sensual notes of honey and beeswax, decorated
with touching flavours of chocolate and roasted coffee, the result of ageing on
laths of the bottles for 6 years, with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse
yeasts.
Palate :
·
Ample, deep and harmonious opening, thanks to a
judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation on the base wines,
enhanced by a gentle minerality, expression of the old plot where the grapes
were selected (between 40 and 61 years old), well exposed, carefully harvested
in 2007 (90%) and 2006 (10%) in the locality « Les Montants » in
Verzy.
·
Revealing the red fruits perceived at the nose.
·
Deliciously acidulous finish, perhaps due to the
rigorous selection of first runwine (cuvée),
during the pressing of the grapes, underlined by a touch of spices.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this Cuvée Grand Cru, Pierre
Trichet, its producer, unveils us an interpretation inspired by the Pinot Noir enhanced
by the Grand Cru of Verzy.
To taste
during a meal, to accompany a Bresse poultry roasted in chestnut butter, for example.
