Directly from the Club Trésors de Champagne – an association,
about thirty récoltant - here is the
2007 vintage from Chiquet, a cuvée
d'assemblage - 30% Pinot Noir and 70% Chardonnay - from 30 years old vineyards,
on limestone-calcareous soils, from the villages of Mareuil sur Aÿ, Hautvillers
and Dizy; at least 6 years on yeasts and disgorged June 2014.
It begins with freshness, with a lot of toasted
notes, but quickly disappearing, releasing, immediately, intense notes of
citrus and peach, apple and plum, with tea and dried fruit. It is, however, the
strong chalk size, which turns out to be, in summary, the driving character of
the olfactory profile.
In the mouth, the aromatic expression does not
change, confirming broad and generous convergence. Always on the front line,
the chalky timbre, here enriched with hazelnut inserts and the return of the
fruit, also exotic.
Balanced drink, sustained by a
significant acid plug, whose lack of complexity, however, rethinking to the
millennium, did not catch me unprepared.
