(around
30 euros per bottle)
Refined bottle, decorated with a wreath of flowers,
mischievous reference with a play on words to the Roman Emperor Caesar.
Aspect:
Golden, brilliant.
Effervescence of a rare finesse.
Reserved bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Touching, between radiant elegance and
sensual generosity.
The Chardonnay, harvested by hand in 2010 at
perfect ripeness, in the best plots of the wine estate, reaches its full
potential with its delicate scents of white flowers, candied citrus fruits,
apple and pear compote.
Later, the notes of pastries reveal the
well-defined maturity of the champagne, obtained by 7 years of ageing on laths
of the bottles before riddling and disgorgement.
Palate:
Splendid purity at the opening, reinforced by
the rigorous selection of the juices from the first pressing (cuvée) during the soft pressing of the
grapes, highlighted by the minerality of the chalk.
Joyful fullness, underlined by the adjusted
dosage with 7 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Life-giving finish.
Very great length on the palate.
With this cuvée « Ses Arts » Fine Artistic Wine 2010, Jean-Philippe Waris,
its producer, delivers us an unforgettable interpretation of the Grand Cru terroirs of Avize and Cramant, in the
Côte des Blancs, exclusive origins of the grapes.
To taste as an aperitif or during a meal,
with a lobster roasted with rosemary, for example.
A real desire to reduce the environmental
footprint and to respect the soils, an inspired artistic and œnological
creativity and a strong sense of welcome and conviviality: these are the
founding values which gather Marie-Hélène Waris, artist wine grower and her
three children, Jean-Philippe, artist and alchemist wine grower, Pierre-Louis,
architect wine grower and Inès, designer wine grower around the love of
champagne. Being certified Demeter, they cultivate with passion their 5
hectares vineyard, according to the biodynamy principles, to craft exciting
champagnes.
