Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(approximately 32 euros
a bottle)
With a 152-hectare vineyard settled
on the hillsides of Sézanne, farmed by 150 wine growers in the greatest respect
for the environment, composed of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir, the Champagne
Le Brun de Neuville develops the art of blending since
1963 to craft and market approximately 500,000 bottles of Champagnes of
character every year.
Original bottle, with a sober,
luxurious and sensual presentation.
Visual Aspect:
·
Golden, bright.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Delicate
bead of bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
· Intense,
its complexity comes to light gradually thanks to long times between disgorgement
and marketing.
·
Blooming
aromas of fresh butter, caramel, honey and brioche, expressions of the maturity
of the cuvée obtained by 6 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
· The
majority Pinot Noir (75%) then shows itself, with its scents of crystallized
red fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry and strawberry), matched by a discreet note
of spices (cinnamon and vanilla).
· Moving
scents of citrus, peach, apple, pear and white, slightly iodized, expressions
of the 25% of Chardonnay.
Palate :
· Clear,
lemony first taste, which leads to a generous roundness allowed by the realization
of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
· Moving
minerality, signature of the terroirs of origin of the grapes, strictly
selected in Sézannes: Bethon, Villenauxe-la-Grande, Celle-sous-Chantemerle,
Chantemerle, Barbonne, and Fountain-Denis.
·
Delicious
tangy and warm finish.
·
Good
length.
With this Lady of N Clovis Brut,
Gilles Balthazart, the cellar master of the Champagne Le Brun de Neuville, managed
to find the right balance between grape varieties and terroirs, to sign a
beautiful interpretation of 2006, the exclusive year of harvest.
To enjoy during a meal with friends,
to accompany a pan-fried foie gras, for example.
