Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(Approximately 28 euros
a bottle)
Founded in 1955, the Champagne
Beaumont of Crayères gathers 240 wine growers who carefully work 90 hectares, planted
with the three grape varieties of Champagne (60% Pinot Meunier, 25% Chardonnay
and 15% Pinot Noir). Settled on the chalky terroir of the hillsides of Epernay,
it benefits from an exceptional exposure, mainly north, allowing to protect the
purity of the Champagnes. 550,000 bottles are marketed every year, of which 75%
at export.
Traditional and luxurious
presentation.
Visual Aspect:
·
White
gold, with bright green tinges.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Sophisticated bead of bubbles.
Nose:
·
Blooming.
·
At first subtle and elegant, with aromas of apple and pear
compote, of hazelnut and white flowers, thanks to the Chardonnay (50%).
·
The
nose then reveals a sensual maturity, with generous notes of honey, Viennese
pastries, delicately toasted, result of eight years of ageing on laths of the bottles
before disgorgement.
·
The
patience reveals the small crystallized red fruits (blackcurrant and raspberry)
and the violet, the expressions of the Pinot Noir (40%) and the Pinot Meunier
(10%).
Palate :
·
Pure
first taste, result of the rigorous selection of the noblest part of the grape
juices during pressing (Coeur de cuvée), but also the signature of the particular
terroir of the hillsides of Epernay (hillsides of Mardeuil), mainly facing
north.
·
Remarkable
presence, carried by a beautiful minerality and by a soft and smooth effervescence.
·
Charming
slightly tangy and spicy finish.
·
Very
good length on the palate.
With this cuvée Fleur de Prestige

vital force, a remarkable performance of the late year 2004.
To enjoy for the aeéritif or during
your meal shared with friends, to accompany a bar marinated in the charmoula,
