Guide VERON des Champagnes 2013
(around 24 Euros per
bottle)
Located in Reims on a production site of 5
hectares, with a storage capacity of over 29 million bottles, the Coopérative
Régionale Vins del Champagne (CRVC) from 2003 has continued the knowhow of the
prestigious De Castelnau brand, having recourse to 900 hectares of vineyards, scattered
across 144 Cru.
A traditional
and austere look.
Appearance :
·
Coppery, bright, obtained by skilfully blending 10%
Pinot red wine and 90% white wine according to the traditional method for Champagne
rosé
·
Delicate bead
·
Fine perlage
Nose :
·
Alluring and complex
·
Wonderful aromatic spectrum of fresh red fruits (blackcurrant,
blueberry, cherry, strawberry) and very ripe plum, an expression of the clearly
predominant 51% Pinot Meunier
·
Subtle spicy notes (pepper, liquorice), thanks to the
14% Pinot Noir, combined with citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), expressed by the
35% Chardonnay
Palate :
·
A balanced and round attack, at the same time rich and
mineral, obtained by appropriate malolactic fermentation and ageing the bottles
sur lattes for 3 years before disgorgement
·
Revealing the red and citrus fruits already perceived
at the nose, but also kirsch, in a deeply delicious complexity, expressed by
the multitude of cru
· Lengthy persistence on the palate
With this
Brut Rosé, Richard Dailly, Chef de Cave of the Champagne House of De
Castelnau, presents lavishly blended traditional Champagne, which highlights
his savoir-faire.
Drink as an
aperitif for moments in good company or with dessert with a strawberry crumble
or red fruit charlotte.
