Champagne Vincent d’Astrée - Cuvée Eclipse

 


Guide VERON des Champagnes 2023
(around 34 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Golden and crystal-clear, driven by a fine effervescence.

Nose

Initially shy, it reveals an outstanding farandole of fragrances of candied fruits (apricot, peach, quince and citrus fruits), underlined by delicate spicy and roasted touches thanks to the patient ageing on laths of the bottles (6 years), in the historic cellars of the house.

 

Palate

Heady vitality, highlighted by the minerality of the flints and enhanced by a radiant roundness.

For this Cuvée Eclipse - Zéro Dosage - Meunier from the range Constellation, Sébastien Lapierre, cellar master, was able to stop the malolactic fermentation of the base wine, with no sugar added at disgorgement, to unveil all the purity of the Meunier in the Premier Cru terroir of Pierry.
