Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 19 euros per bottle)
Original and luxurious
presentation.
Aspect :
·
Bright and amber-coloured.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Elegant and persistant bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Intense
and radiant, perhaps thanks to the ageing of the base wines for 10 to 11 months
in old oak barrels (more than 30 years old).
·
Joyful
aromas of red and black fruits (blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackcurrant
and prune), supported by scents of grape, mint and spices (liquorice and
cinnamon), touching expressions of the Pinot Noir, exclusive varietal of the
Champagne.
·
The
maturity of the cuvée is then slowly
unveiled with notes of caramel, barely roasted, results of the long ageing on
laths of the bottles before disgorgement.
Palate :
·
Neat attack,
coupled with a delicate minerality, allowed by the rigorous selection of the
first juices (cuvée), purer, during
the soft pressing of the grapes harvested by hand in 2009.
·
The mouth then becomes creamy and caressing,
reinforced by the judicious fulfillment of the malolactic fermentation of the
base wines and by the generous dosage, with 9.5 g/L of sugar added at
disgorgement.
·
Deep finish, deliciously acidulous, barely spicy.
·
Great length on the palate.
With this
restricted Brut Rosé (2,500 bottles), Claudy Dubois-Michaux, its producer,
suggests us a superb traditionally blended Champagne Rosé, with 10% of red wine
vinified by the House and 90% of white base wine, to offer us a remarkable
interpretation of the terroir of
Venteuil.
To taste
from aperitif to meal, with a duck magret and a honey sauce, for example.
Wine
grower in Venteuil since 1789, the Champagne House du Rédempteur cultivates
