Champagne Cattier - Clos du Moulin Rosé Brut Multivintage Premier Cru


Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 95 euros per bottle)
Mythical Champagne

Luxurious and original numbered bottle (black metallic).

Aspect:

Copper-coloured and bright.

Fine bubbles.

Delicate bead of foam.

Nose:

Radiant and endless aromatic harmony.

Heady scents of candied red and black fruits, signatures of the majority of Pinot Noir (55%) and exclusive varietal of the red wine (15% of this blended rosé), vinified by traditional maceration of the perfectly ripe grapes.

Later, the maturity of the cuvée is revealed with notes of pastries and roasted coffee, result of 8 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles in the deep cellars of the House, before disgorgement.

Palate:

Life-giving opening, obtained by the selection of the purest juices (tête de cuvée) during the soft pressing of the grapes, highlighted by the radiant minerality of le Clos du Moulin plot (2.2 hectares), implanted Premier Cru and of which soils are cultivated by animal power.

Sensual, dense and elegant balance, with flavours of white fruits and citrus fruits thanks to the Chardonnay (45%), driven by the lively effervescence.

Deliciously acidulous finish, barely spicy.

Remarkable length on the palate.
For this Clos du Moulin Rosé Brut Multivintage Premier Cru, Alexandre Cattier was able to blend with talent vintages (2006, 2007 and 2008), varietals and white and red wines, to offer us an unmissable Champagne.
Ideal to accompany your intimate moments, from aperitif to meal, with a salmon marinated with mint, for example.
