Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 45 euros per bottle)
Luxurious and original bottle.
Aspect:
Golden, bright and brilliant.
Bubbles of a rare finesse.
Elegant corolla of bubbles.
Nose:
Generous aromatic melody.
Endless farandole of fragrances of red and black fruits
(cherry, blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry) punctuated by
subtle spices, signatures of the Pinot Noir, exclusive varietal of the
Champagne, selected in a plot of old vines (over 45 years old) in the locality
"Beauregard", near Celles-sur-Ource.
The nose then unveils heady touches of gingerbread,
delicately roasted, translation of the maturity of the Champagne obtained by a
long ageing on laths of the bottles, before disgorgement.
Palate:
Lively and life-giving opening, expression of the particular
maturity of the grapes due to the northern and north-western exposure of the
vineyard, reinforced by the absence of dosage (no sugar added) at disgorgement.
The liveliness gives way to a dense, gentle and enveloping
warmth, obtained by the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of
the base wines, highlighted by the vibrant minerality of the red clay soils and
of the portlandian hard limestone.
Deliciously acidulous finish.
Great length on the palate.
Thomas Cheurlin was able to vinify with talent, in small
volumes, this Blanc de Noir "Beauregard" Brut Nature, cuvée of the Premium collection of the
Champagne House Comte de Cheurlin, to reveal the true face of the Pinot Noir in
an exceptional terroir.
To taste from aperitif to meal, with a skate wing and lemon
butter, for example.
Tenth generation of
vignerons established in Celles-sur-Ource, in the heart of the Côte des Bar,
Thomas Cheurlin continues his quest for excellence. He cultivates his vineyard
of 22 hectares, certified Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale, in the
greatest respect of the environment and produces with accuracy, between
traditions and œnological creativity, Champagnes with personality, under his
new brand Comte de Cheurlin.
