Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
90 euros per bottle)
Mythical Champagne
Inimitable bottle.
Aspect:
Solar
and brilliant.
Refined
and festive bubbles.
Fine
bead of foam.
Nose:
Complex
and generous, it takes us into an endless aromatic waltz.
Initially driven by touches of nice ripe apple and pear, enhanced by
hints of citrus fruits and exotic fruits and a heady mentholated breath,
signatures of the Chardonnay carefully selected in the Grands Crus of Chouilly,
Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize, in the Côte des Blancs and in
Montgueux in the Côte des Bar.
Later, the Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of the Mountain of Reims
(Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay, Aÿ and Ambonnay) gently establishes itself with its
scents of red and black fruits punctuated by delicate spices.
Palate:
Dense
and sensual, it offers a carnal caress, expression of the well defined maturity
of the cuvée obtained by 9 years of
patient ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement, in the cellars of
the House.
Gourmet
and warm finish, underlined by the soft minerality and the silky effervescence.
Endless
length on the palate.
With this Palmes d’Or Brut Vintage 2006, David Hénault, cellar master
of the Champagne House Nicolas Feuillatte, was able to compose the inspired
blending of varietals and terroirs,
to offer us an unforgettable sensory journey.
Even
if it is self sufficient as an aperitif, it will accompany with pleasure a
turbot with vegetables, roots and citrus fruits, for example.
Union of more than
5,000 wine growers who cultivates with care 2,250 hectares spread over the best
