Guide VERON des Champagnes 2016
(around 18
euros per bottle)
Careful
and traditional presentation. Satiny label, original.
Aspect :
·
Golden, bright and brilliant.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Refined bead of bubbles, persistent.
Nose :
·
Initially
shy but with a beautiful complexity, it slowly unveils its aromatic spectrum,
between elegance and generosity.
·
Touching
fragrances of citrus fruits, white flowers, apple, pear, apricot and grape,
coupled with a hint of bitter almond and hazelnut, supported by a life-giving
breath of iodine and mint, signatures of the Chardonnay, unique varietal of the
cuvée.
·
Patience
is rewarded by the appearance of subtle notes of butter and caramel,
translation of the emerging maturity of the Champagne.
Palate :
·
Accurate and classy opening, thanks to the perfect
control of the malolactic fermentation, partly realized on the base wines, to
preserve the natural acidity of the grapes, reinforced by the adjusted dosage,
with only 5 g/L of sugar added at the dosage, after the disgorgement.
·
The mouth is then revealed caressing and warm, almost
sensual, supported by the vibrant minerality, expression of the Grand Cru terroir of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
·
Dense and tasty finish, underlined by the silky effervescence.
·
Great length on the palate.
With 80% of wines
from the harvest of 2011 and 20% of reserve wines, this Brut Blanc de Blancs
Réserve Sélection provides gentle emotions and gives a beautiful image of the
expertise of Jean-Michel Turgy, its producer.
To taste
from aperitif to meal, with cod petals in soft steam, for example.
Wine grower in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Grand Cru of the
Côte des Blancs, the Champagne House Turgy perpetuates the family tradition
since 1881. A vineyard of 6 hectares, exclusively composed of Chardonnay and
cultivated in the respect of the environment, and an accurate oenology give
birth to 70,000 bottles of Champagnes revealing terroirs each year, essentially destined for export.
