Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
18 euros per bottle)
Sober and luxurious presentation. Poetic name,
reference to the locality “Les Treilles” in which is the House.
Aspect:
Golden.
Fine
and brilliant bubbles.
Bead
of scattered bubbles, persistent.
Nose:
Aromatic
harmony, sensual and endless.
The
Pinot Noir (60%), selected on the Grand Cru of Aÿ and the terroirs of Damery and Venteuil, takes us into its universe of red
and black fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry),
delicately spicy.
Later,
aromas of apple, pear and citrus fruits supported by notes of exotic fruits are
revealed, touching signatures of the Chardonnay from the Vitryat.
Beautiful
maturity, with its scents of honey moving towards brioche hints, thanks to
three years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate:
Pure
and dense opening, definitely obtained by the selection of the first juices (cuvée) during the pressing of the
grapes, but also by the undesired malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
The
minerality and the delicious tension give way to a gourmet generosity,
reinforced by the judicious dosage, with 9 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Tasty finish.
Great
length on the palate.
For this cuvée La Perle des Treilles, also in a no sugar added version, Eric and Yannick Prévoteau were able to compose an inspired blending of vintages, with 25% from 2009, 25% from 2010 and 50% from 2011, to offer us a highly expressive Champagne.
To
taste from aperitif to meal, with a pressed foie
gras and a féra from Léman, for example.
Fifth
generation of wine growers settled in Damery, in the heart of the Marne Valley,
Yannick and Eric Prévoteau now direct the Champagne House Yannick Prévoteau.
They cultivate with passion their vineyard of 10.30 hectares, planted with the
three champenois varietals, spread over
12 Crus of Champagne. A traditional and controlled oenology allows them to
produce and market high quality Champagnes in their wine estate.
