Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(approximately 70 euros a bottle)
Settled in Verzy since 5
generations on a 6-hectare domain in the Grand Cru of Verzy and Verzenay, the
house Penet is attached to the revelation of its terroirs. Approximately 50,000
bottles of high-end Champagne, very lightly measured (little or no sugar added at
disgorgement) are developed and marketed every year.
Numbered bottle (0226) with generous
curves. Sober and luxurious packaging. Very informative back label with the key
dates of the elaboration.
Visual Aspect:
·
Dense gold.
·
Very fine bubbles.
·
Refined bead of bubbles after the service.
Nose :
·
Unforgettable
universe, heady aromatic hide-and-seek, alternating sensual heat and moving
freshness, ad infinitum.
·
Aromas
of crystallized red berries (strawberry, raspberry, cherry), thanks to the
majority of Pinot Noir (70%).
·
Nuances
of almond, hazelnut, apple and pear, delicately iodized and mentholated, expressions
of the Chardonnay (30%).
Palate:
·
Lively
first taste, thanks to the blocking of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines
and to the very low dosage (less than 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement),
mineral, marked with the unique origin of the grapes: the Grand Cru terroir of
Fervins at Verzy (southeast exposure, chalk soil and 15% slope).
·
The
palate then reveals a rare, warm presence, allowed by the harvest at optimal
maturity, and translation of the élevage of the base on the lees, in small
tanks.
·
Refreshing
and spicy finish.
·
Impressive
length.
