Guide VERON des Champagnes 2012
(around
15 Euros per bottle)
The Champagne Breton & Sons is located on a
vineyard of 17 hectares in Congy between the Côte des Blancs and the Côteaux of
Sézannais. It vinifies and sells 160 000 bottles of Champagne every year
and this in compliance with the Champagne tradition.
The presentation of this Champagne is traditional.
Appearance :
- Yellow with green flashes
- Numerous and fine bubbles
- Discreet fiziness Cordon
Aroma :
- Pleasant
- First nose marked by citrus (lemon, grapefruit and clementine) assorted
with fresh butter, translation of the elegance of the Chardonnay which
represents 50% of this Cuvée blending.
- The nose then develops towards delicate tinges of roasted coffee
strengthened by morello cherry overtones, expression of the 50% of Pinot
Noir.
Taste :
- Frank, on citrus, thanks to a dosage judiciously
low (6 g/L of sugar added at the disgorging), perfectly mastered.
- The mouth then discloses a great presence, all in tension, on
minerality supported by delicious spices (pepper).
- Good length on the palate
With this Brut de Brut, Johann
Breton, its maker, promises an engaging Cuvée which gives a nice image of the
traditional blending Champagnes.
To be served with the aperitif or along the meal with oysters or seafood.
