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.
