Guide VERON des Champagnes 2015
(approximately 67 euros a bottle)
Settled at Ludes since 1930, in the Montagne de Reims, the Champagne Ployez-Jacquemart relies on its 3-hectare vineyard situated on the terroirs of Ludes, Mailly-Champagne, Villedommange and Vertus, complemented by approximately 10 hectares cultivated by wine growers faithful to the brand since more than 50 years, to craft present prestigious Champagnes present on the best tables of France and 14 countries.
Original and luxurious presentation.
Visual Aspect:
·
White gold.
·
Fine bubbles.
·
Sophisticated bead of bubbles.
Nose :
·
Blooming
and sensual.
·
Heady
maturity, result of 10 years of ageing head down, with aromas of Viennese
pastries, honey and roasted coffee, sublimated by the right woodiness, made of subtle
notes of spices (vanilla, pepper and cinnamon), obtained by the vinification and
élevage of the base wines in 5-year-old oak barrels.
·
The
Chardonnay (66%), selected in the Côte des Blancs (Cuis and Oger) finally
reveals itself with delicate scents of apple and pear compote, crystallized
citrus and white flowers.
·
The
patience is rewarded by the appearance of fragrances of red berries, signatures
of the Pinot Noir (17%) stemming from Ludes and Mailly-Champagne and from the Pinot
Noir (17%) chosen on an old vineyard of Ludes.
Palate:
·
Distinguished
first taste, due to the sensible blocking of the malolactic fermentation of the
base wines and the careful selection of the first juices during the soft
pressing of the grapes.
·
The
palate then becomes fleshy, backed by a dense minerality.
·
Finally
we find the spices evoked in nose.
·
Fabulous
length.
