Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around
25 euros per bottle)
Sober
and luxurious packaging.
Aspect :
·
Golden.
·
Very fine bubbles.
·
Persistent bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Radiant, thanks to the
vinification and then the ageing of basewines for 4 months in 228L oak barrels
and in 600L demi-muids, specifically
made for the House, with a medium toast, by the cooperage Rousseau, in
Burgundy.
·
Aromas of honey and pastries,
delicately roasted, expression of the maturity of the cuvée, result of ageing
on laths of the bottles for 3 years, before disgorgement.
·
The majority of Pinot Noir
(80%) is revealed at last, with some touches of red fruits, subtly spicy,
underlined by the Chardonnay (20%), with its touching hints of candied apple
and pear.
Palate :
·
Opening lively, allowed by the rigorous selection of
the purer juices during the soft pressing of the grapes (cœur de cuvée), and by the timely stop of the malolactic
fermentation of the basewines.
·
The mouth becomes warm and enveloping, thanks to the
generous dosage with 10g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
·
Dense finish, with a touch of spices.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this Cuvée fût de chêne, Vincent
Bartnicki, its maker, was able to choose his oldest grapevines (average age of
40 years) in the Crus of Barséquanais (Saint-Usage and Noé-les-Mallets), to
deliver us an inspired interpretation of the suberb year of 2009.
To taste
during festive meals, to accompany sweetbreads braised with a morel sauce, for
example.
Settled in Gyé-sur-Seine in the Côte
des Bar, The Champagne House Bartnicki père et fils carefully cultivates its 7
hectares of vineyard, planted with the 3 champenois
varietals (70% of Pinot Noir, 20% of Chardonnay and 10% of Pinot Meunier). A
meticulous oenology, firmly focused on the traditional use of oak barrels,
gives birth to around 40,000 bottles of Champagne with personality, exclusively
marketed for individuals.
