Fernand Thill Champagne Grand Cru Tradition Brut s.a




Here we are in Verzy, a small village of the Marne Department and this company is now in the hands of Marie Thérèse, Fernand’s daughter.

The Brut Tradition is the entry level product. It is an assembly of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, only steel, and the 24 months passed sur lattes give a bubble not fine. Normal, almost predictable.

The dominance of white grape is heard from the nose, with fresh aromas of white flowers, a touch of citrus and other white fruits - pear and peach - with a spicy mineral stamp, enriching the bouquet.

The palate expresses freshness and delicacy, attracting more the white notes of flowers and fruit, less the minerals sensations.

A drink however balanced - insistent final calls of almond - but a bit lacking, as many champagnes of this category, about the progression and persistence.
However, I guarantee, that is a correct aperitif-champagne, going well and could be a comfortable "warm-up" for another bubble of greater caliber.
