Champagne J&H Fagot - Clos Herbesonne

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2024
(around 38 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Gold, driven by a fine effervescence.

Nose

Radiant aromas of nice ripe apricot, peach, mirabelle plum and apple, delicately spicy, heady signatures of the inspired blending of 5 varietals (Meunier, Chardonnay, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris) harvested by hand in 2018 in the Clos Herbesonne, in Germaine, in the heart of the Mountain of Reims.

Palate

The liveliness of the opening unveils a gourmet fullness, highlighted by delicate woody notes thanks to the ageing of the base wines in oak barrels and to 60 months of ageing of the bottles on laths, with patient autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts.

With this Clos Herbesonne, Hubert Fagot, wine grower in the process of conversion to organic viticulture, signs a radiant interpretation of the reserved terroir of Germaine.
