Champagne Paul Goerg – Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2013

(around 30 Euros per bottle)

Located in Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the Champagne House of Paul Goerg is a brand of the cooperative winery La Goutte d’Or, which groups 110 passionate wine growers over 120 hectares of planted vineyards. It produces Champagne Premier Cru, characteristic expressions of Chardonnay.


Luxurious looking.

Appearance :

 

·        Pale gold, with green glints

·        Fine perlage

·        Subtle and persistent bead

·        Limpid and bright

 

Nose :

 

·        Elegant and captivating, perfected by the rather lengthy period between disgorgement and expédition (from 4 to 6 months)

·        Superb nose of Chardonnay, sole vine of this Cuvée, which delivers wonderful emotions

·        Scents of lemon and grapefruit, together with delicate notes of candied pear and apple, walnut, hazelnut and white flowers (acacia)

·        Left to breathe, you are rewarded with gentle notes of butter, brioche, grilled caramel, almost toasted, an expression of the good maturity of this Champagne, obtained by lengthy ageing sur lattes before disgorgement

 

Palate :

 

·        A marked and mineral attack, the result of a moderate dosage with 9g/L of sugar added at disgorgement

·        Lavish effervescence

·        Confirms the citrus fruits and white flowers already perceived at the nose

·        The finish reveals an unexpected creamy roundness 

·        Good length on the palate

The result of carefully blending 70% of the base wines from 2007 and 30% of the reserve wines, this Brut Blanc des Blancs Premier Cru reveals good balance, great finesse, which delivers a beautiful image of the Chardonnay cultivated on the noble terroir of Vertus. A superb reward for Jean-Philippe Moulin, Chef de Cave of the Champagne House of Paul Goerg.

Drink as an aperitif, accompanied by avocado and prawn verrines, or during a meal with Sole a la meunière.
