Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 23 euros per bottle)
Sober
and luxurious presentation.
Aspect :
·
Golden, bright.
·
Fine and festive bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of
bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
·
Intense
and radiant.
·
Aromas of apple and pear
compote, citrus fruits, apricot, raisin and white flowers, signatures of the
Chardonnay (67%), carefully chosen in the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs
(Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger) and in the Premiers Crus of Vertus,
Bergères-les-Vertus and Villers Marmery.
·
The Pinot Noir (33%) selected
in the Grands Crus of the Mountain of Reims (Bouzy, Ambonnay and Aÿ) and the
Premiers Crus of Cumières and Vertus, is then revealed with its scents of red
fruits and spices, enhanced by the maturity of the cuvée obtained by 3 years of patient ageing on laths of the bottles
before disgorgement.
Mouth :
·
Classy attack, perhaps thanks to the selection of the
first juices during the pressing of the grapes, underlined by a touching
minerality.
·
The mouth is then revealed gourmet and warm, favoured
by a silky effervescence, thanks to the fulfillment of the malolactic
fermentation of the base wines and to the generous dosage with 10 g/L of sugar
added at disgorgement.
·
Tasty finish,
barely spicy.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this cuvée Brut Tradition Premier
Cru, Yannick Collet, Chef de Cave of the Champagne House De Saint Gall,
was able to compose the ideal blending of varietals and years (60% from 2010
and 40% of reserve wines), to offer us a delicious interpretation of the great terroirs of Champagne.
To taste
from aperitif to meal, to accompany some thin slices of marinated burbot livers
on toasts, for example.
The Union
Champagne, established in Avize in the Côte des Blancs, gathers 1,200
