Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 23 euros per bottle)
The
name is evocative of the favorite number of Nathalie and Vincent Huber, who
preside over the destiny of the House. Original and luxurious bottle. Suitable
cap and wire-cap.
Aspect :
·
Pale gold.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Delicate bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Charming, with a great
complexity.
·
Hints of apple, pear, apricot
and raisin, signatures of the Chardonnay of Barbonne-Fayel, holding the
majority (50%).
·
The Pinot Noir (17%, reference
to the number of the cuvée) from
Chavot-Courcourt and the Pinot Meuniver (33%) harvested in Bayonne-Fayel are
then revealed, with some heady notes of red fruits, subtly spicy (pepper and
liquorice).
·
Patience is rewarded by the
appearance of generous fragrances of honey and brioche, barely toasted,
expressions of the maturity of the cuvée
obtained by 3 years of ageing on laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate :
·
Lively attack, allowed by the rigorous selection of
the first juices (cuvée) during the
pressing of the grapes and by the adjusted dosage with 6 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement.
·
The mouth then becomes dense and warm, perhaps thanks
to the fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines.
·
Mineral finish.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this Cuvée
n°17, Vincent Huber, its producer, was able to compose the inspired blending of
3 years of harvest (70% from 2010, 26% from 2009 and 4% from 2008) to celebrate
with dignity this 17th creation of the Champagne House Diogène
Tissier et Fils.
To taste
during meals among friends, to accompany a fish fillet Meunier, for example.
Located in Chavot-Courcourt on a wine
estate of 9.5 hectares, the Champagne House Diogène Tissier et Fils has been
trying hard to perpetuate the Champagne tradition since 1931. A viticulture
firmly focused on reducing the environmental footprint and an accurate oenology
enable to produce 110,000 bottles of quality Champagnes per year, exclusively
marketed for individuals, of which 75% for exportation.
