Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(Approximately 27 euros
a bottle)
Created in 1845 and settled in
Verzy since 1900, the Champagne Cuperly carefully grows its 23-hectare
vineyard, mainly located in the Grand Crus of the Montagne de Reims, standing
of Pinot Noir (80%) and the Chardonnay (20%), to develop 800,000 bottles of
quality Champagnes, in respect for the traditions of Champagne.
Sober and original presentation.
Visual Aspect:
·
Golden, solar.
·
Vivid effervescence.
·
Discreet bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Of
a remarkable intensity.
·
At
first concentrated, marked by the Pinot Noir, the unique grape variety of the cuvée,
with generous aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant, cherry and kirsch),
delicately spicy, matched by a surprising nuance of mint.
·
The
subtle and mesmerizing woodiness then unveils, supported by the great maturity
of the Champagne, with its warm scents of brioche, Viennese pastries and
coffee, result of 4 years of ageing on laths before disgorgement of the bottles,
with the patient autolysis of the bottle fermentation yeasts.
Palate:
·
Powerful
and deep, matched by a real vital force strengthened by the blocking of the
malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
·
Intense
minerality, expression of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims
(Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly-Champagne and Beaumont-sur-Vesle) where the grapes of
2008 (60%) and 2007-2006 (40%) have been carefully selected.
·
We
find the sensual woodiness evoked in the nose, got thanks to the 6-month élevage
of the base wines in Burgundy oak barrels from 15 to 20 years old, after the
alcoholic fermentation in tanks.
·
The
finish is marked by red fruits and spices.
·
Great length.
With this Cuvée Prestige – Blanc de
Noirs Grand Cru produced from black grapes, Patrick Morieux, cellar master of the Champagne
Cuperly, managed to implement a precise, resolutely qualitative enology, to
sign a Champagne with an asserted character.
To enjoy during a meal, to accompany a roasted roe deer with praline of hazelnut, for example.
