Blend

Comte de Chermont (Vintage 2012)
61% Pinot noir and 39 % Chardonnay
Dosage : 7 g/l

Description

The Champagne displays a luminous and fairly fluid, pale and deep yellow-green colour with lemon-yellow highlights. It is crossed by fine and vivid bubbles that feed a persistent ring. The visual sensation indicates richness an freshness.

The first nose is flattering, evoking notes of lemon, fresh apricot, pineapple, sweet almond, honeysuckle, warm apple, brioche. When aerated the Champagne evolves towards notes of wild strawberry, quince, verbena, orange, pink grapefruit, moist chalk, pear, cherry, pomegranate, with fragrances of poppy and lilac

The contact in the palate is supple and fresh, with a creamy and melted effervescence. The Champagne develops a pulpy and coated fruity matter, sustained by an acidity reminding those of femon and grapefruit. The middle mouth is orchestrated by a claychalky minerality that provides freshness, fruity volume, saltiness and length to the palate with aromatic resonance. Champagne embodies the fruity richness and depth of the vintage, while maintaining a slender freshness that brings a finish of character, full, pulpy and tasty.

Comte de Chermont is a Champagne both concentrated and greedy, offering many consumption possibilities
