Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
28 euros per bottle)
Original and harmonious bottle.
Aspect:
Gold, brilliant.
Fine and dynamic bubbles.
Fine bead, elegant and regular.
Nose:
Radiant generosity.
The gourmet aromas of candied red and black
fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry), punctuated by
delicate spices, signatures of the Pinot Noir (90%), gently embrace the touches
of citrus fruits, apple and pear, sometimes shy, and then more assured, refined
characteristic signs of the Chardonnay (10%).
Later, the nose becomes warm with toasted and
roasted scents, revelations of the maturity of the champagne, result of 5 years
of ageing on laths of the bottles with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts.
Palate:
The heady vitality of the opening,
highlighted by the absence of dosage (no sugar added at disgorgement), gives
way to a tasty and reserved power.
The mouth becomes gentle and caressing,
perhaps thanks to the fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base
wines, underlined by the vibrant chalky minerality.
We find again the citrus fruits already
perceived at the nose in the dense finish, subtly spicy.
Impressive length on the palate.
With this Brut
Nature Millésime 2012 - Grand Cru, Eric and Bruno Vesselle take advantage of
the beautiful year 2012 to sign an exciting champagne, true nature of the Grand
Cru terroir of Bouzy, without the
embellishment of the expedition liqueur.
Ideal as an aperitif, but also
during a meal with a walnut of sweetbread glazed with citrus fruits juices, for
example.
Under the leadership of Bruno and Eric
Vesselle, the Champagne house Georges Vesselle continues its endless quest for
excellence, to better enhance the soul of the Grand Cru of Bouzy on which are
established the 21 plots of its 17 hectares vineyard. Grapes of Pinot Noir
(90%) and Chardonnay (10%), carefully harvested by hand and then vinified with
passion, enable to produce each year around 200,000 bottles of high level
champagnes.
