Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(approximately 29 euros
a bottle)
Settled in Bouzy, in the heart of
the Montagne de Reims since 1894, the Champagne Camille Savès, created thanks
to the marriage of Eugène Savès with Anaïs Jolicœur, grows with passion its 10-hectare
vineyard planted with 80% of Pinot Noir and 20% of Chardonnay, to produce
approximately 85,000 bottles of Champagnes of character every year, of which 85%
are sent to the United States.
Original, modern and luxurious
presentation, for this vintage created in tribute to the founder of the house’s
wife.

Sophisticated
bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
At
first secret, it quickly reveals a great complexity, a source of intense
pleasure.
·
Delicate
scents of citrus, apple, pear, peach and cherry plum, fully elegant, signatures
of the 10% of Chardonnay.
·
Later,
the Pinot Noir (90%) reveals its personality, with generous fragrances of red fruits
(blackcurrant and raspberry) and of spices.
·
Blooming
maturity, with warm notes of chocolate and roasted coffee, result of 4 years of
patient ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement, harmoniously mingling
with a sensual woodiness, obtained by the vinification and élevage of the base
wines in Burgundy oak barrels of 6 years.
Palate:
·
The
first sip is marked by a lively and moving tension, allowed by the sensible
blocking of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines, supported by the
particularly dense minerality of the Grand Cru of Bouzy, facing south, unique
origin of the grapes selected on vines over 35 years old.
·
The
palate then becomes warm, captivating and fleshy, backed by a smooth effervescence.
·
Great
length.
