About 13 hectares grown by
Vincent Couche, biodynamic
since 2008, in the Côte des Bar,
with an annual production of about
80,000 bottles.
This is rosé d'assemblage, consisting of 80 Pinot Noir,
from vineyards in
Buxeuil - Kimmeridgian
soil, clay and
marl - and
20 Chardonnay, from Montgueux - chalky soil,
the only one of the Côte des Bar
- perhaps the most
interesting of all
terroirs of the Aube
(South Champagne), where the
white grapes, here, gives really appreciable
results.
A beautiful
pink and lively
perlage, not really fine, the
nose offers subtle vegetable
tones standing next to dark notes of cherry and strawberry, fig and pomegranate,
with a spicy
profile that flatters the nostrils.
The taste is fresh, powerful and
determined, however, by virtue
of an incisive acidity,
is able to combine agility with structure,
finding, thus, his right balance.
The mouth is wide
and vinous, with the fruity aspects - cherry,
raspberry, strawberry and myrtle - dominating
and imposing themselves, on those spicy.
It closes with
great freshness, medium length, slightly bitter, with a touch of tamarind, well mixed
with savory minerality.
A young producer, with a strong personality,
met recently, convinced
of his choices, which I will follow very carefully.
