Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around
26 euros per bottle)
Original
and neat presentation.
Aspect :
·
Amber, dense and
bright, the result of the perfect control of the maceration of the grapes (3 to
4 days), before devatting and pressing.
·
Elegant and lively bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of foam.
Nose :
·
Radiant, it provides
immediately an intense pleasure.
·
Aromas of candied red fruits,
signatures of the Pinot Noir, unique varietal of the Champagne, harvested at
perfect ripeness (10.5 to 11 natural degrees of alcohol) in 2010, in the
locality “Les Fioles” south-southeast facing, in Celles-sur-Ource.
·
Later, some joyful scents of
violet, leather and spices interlace the warm smoked and roasted notes,
expressions of the maturity of the cuvée
allowed by 3 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, before manual ridding and
disgorgement on the spot.
Palate :
·
Sensual and silky
opening.
·
Revealing the red fruits already perceived at the
nose, heightened by the fleshy structure, thanks to the carbonic maceration at
the beginning of the vatting obtained by the vatting of the whole harvest (only
20% of the grapes are crushed), coupled with a touch of honey and gingerbread.
·
Deep and warm finish underlined by a creamy
effervescence.
·
Very great length on the palate.
With this Brut
Rosé, Benoit Tassin, its producer, offers us a high level rosé made by
maceration, vinified with talent, without chaptalization and with very low
dosages of Sulphur.
To taste
during festive meals, to accompany a vol-au-vent with crayfish and morels, for
example.
Passionate
wine grower from Celles-sur-Ource, the Champagne House Benoit Tassin cultivates
its vineyard of 4.75 hectares spread over Essoyes (2 thirds) and
Celles-sur-Ource (1 third) in the Côte des Bar, in the greatest respect of the
environment. The rigorous selection of the best grapes and a controlled oenology,
with a long settling of the musts after pressing, give birth to around 16,000
bottles of Champagne with personality each year.
