Champagne Raymond Demière – Rosé Grand Cru

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015

(approximately 15 euros a bottle)

Since 1983, Champagne Raymond Demière grows with passion his vineyard of approximately 3 hectares mainly established on the Ambonnay Grand Cru, in the Montagne de Reims, to develop and commercialize 12,000 bottles of high quality Champagnes every year.

Classic and luxurious presentation.

Aspect :

 

·        Nice coppery tints, gleaming.

·        Fine bubble.

·        Bead of persistant bubbles

 

Nose :

 

·        At first a bit timid, the nose has proven quickly pleasing, intense and ample.

·        Marked by delightful red berries (strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and especially cherry), matching with an improbable shade of violets, the signature of Pinot Noir, in large majority (100% of red wine and two thirds of white wine).

·        Heady scents of undergrowth and spices (liquorice and cinnamon).

·        Later, the nose reveals all the sensivity of the Chardonnay (third of the white wine),with delicate aromas of apple, pear, citrus (lemon and clementine) and fresh butter.

 

Palate :

·     At first tense and mineral, with seductive signatures of the terroirs Grand Crus of Verzenay for the red wine, but mainly of Ambonnay, for the white wine, quickly joined with a fleshy and blooming vinosity, maybe thanks to the malolactic fermentation and generous dosing with avec 10 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

·        We find the red berries evoked in the nose.

·        Spicy finish.

·        Great length in the mouth.

With this Rosé Grand Cru, producer Patrick Demière signs a traditional blended rosé, with 10% of red wine and 90% of white wine from mainly 2010 (70%) and 2009 (30%) harvests, with a good price-quality ratio.

To enjoy during meals with friends, to accompany roast partridge with honey, lemon and pineapple or with a dessert, like braised pear with blackcurrant sauce, for example.
