Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 19 euros per bottle)
Original and luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Golden, with reserved emerald glints.
Refined bubbles.
Fine bead of foam.
Nose:
Elegant and sensual, source of intense pleasure.
The Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the cuvée, takes us with delicate touches of
candied citrus fruits, apple and white flowers, barely mentholated.
Later, the fullness of the Champagne is revealed with its
generous aromas of pastries, delicately toasted, result of the long ageing on
laths of the bottles (4 years) before disgorgement.
Palate:
Lively opening, characteristic sign of the selection of the
first juices (cuvée) during the
pressing of the grapes, driven by the tasty mineral tension of the five plots
rigorously selected (Le Four à Chaux, Le Petit Val, Macheret, Tout y Brûle and
Les Clos Prieur).
The mouth becomes caressing creamy thanks to the judicious
fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and to the generous
dosage at disgorgement.
Deliciously acidulous finish.
Great length on the palate.
For this touching Brut Blanc de Blancs, Simon Nominé,
passionate wine grower and cellar master, was able to compose the inspired
blending of years (65% of base wines from 2011 and 35% of reserve wines from
the five previous years) and terroirs
(Etoges, Villevenard and Allemant), with tasting, to establish the
Nominé-Renard style, between delicacy and elegance.
To taste from aperitif to meal, with a blue lobtser,
raspberries and green asparagus, for example.
Wine grower in Villevenard, the Champagne House Nominé-Renard
has been perpetuating with passion the champenois
expertises. A vineyard of 20 hectares established on the hillsides of the Petit
Morin, the hillside of Sézanne and the Marne Valley, cultivated with the real
desire to respect the environment and to preserve the biodiversity (being
certified Haute Valeur Environnementale) and a meticulous œnology, with
separate vinifications of varietals and Crus, in small volumes, allow to
produce around 100,000 bottles per year of harmonious champagnes.
