Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around
27 euros per bottle)
Luxurious bottle, draped in black.
Aspect:
Golden and deep.
Refined and festive bubbles.
Fine bead of bubbles.
Nose:
Intense and complex aromatic delicacy.
The aromas of red and black fruits,
punctuated by subtle spices, signatures of the Pinot Noir (50%), gently
interlace the elegant fragrances of apple, pear, citrus fruits and almond,
deliciously mentholated, characteristic signs of the Chardonnay (50%).
Later, the generous maturity of the champagne
is unveiled, result of 8 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles in the
seclusion of the house cellars, at constant temperature (12°C), with warm
touches of pastries and cocoa.
Palate:
Splendid purity at the opening, obtained by
the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
The bright vitality reveals a sensual
balance, between elegance and reserved power, underlined by the 6 g/L of sugar
added during the dosage, after disgorgement.
Tasty finish, acidulous and delicately spicy.
Great length on the palate.
For this Millésime 2008, Yannick and Eric Prévoteau take advantage of the exceptional year 2008 to select the most beautiful grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, harvested by hand, and to reveal us the touching soul of the terroirs of Damery and Venteuil, in the Marne Valley.
To taste as an aperitif or during your meals
among friends, with a deer tenderloin roasted with cocoa powder, for example.
Resolutely committed to a sustainable
viticulture approach (certified Haute Valeur Environnementale), Yannick and
Eric Prévoteau, fifth generation of wine growers, cultivate with passion their
10.30 hectares vineyard planted with the three champenois varietals and spread over 12 Crus of Champagne. An
accurate production, between soft pressing of the grapes and parcelled
vinification, gives birth each year to around 90,000 bottles of authentic
champagnes, to discover in the new reception space created in 2017.
