MONDAY 28 JANUARY 2013


Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today let's speak about Champagne !

... Louis Dubosquet Champagne Grand Cru 1999

ORIGIN


"I'm coming exclusively from one or several villages amoungst the legally classified 100% Grand Cru 17 villages.

Do you know that there is 324 different villages for making Champagne and only 17 are classified Grand Cru !
The Grand Cru villages are: Ambonnay, Avize, Ay, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Bouzy, Chouilly (raisins blancs), Cramant, Louvois, Mailly-Champagne, Le Mesnil-sur-Orge, Oger, Oiry, Puisieulx, Sillery, Tours-sur-Marne, Verzenay and Verzy.

The production of Grand Cru Champagne is very tiny but makes great Champagnes.

I'm well balanced with the two main grappes used for Champagne : 55% of Pinot Noir and 45% of Chardonnay.


TASTE


Wonderful! Very floral from the Chardonnay grappes, quite fruity and very long finish from the Pinot noir grappes.
Taste of toast bread, butter and toasted almonds...
The bubbles are very little and the mouthfeel is incredible!

PACKAGING


I'm presented in a traditonal XIXth style bottle with a 24 carats gilded label, identified by a unique number engraved in the glass and mentioned on the watermarked certificate impossible to copy. 

My cork, as during the XVIIIth century and according to the Royal Ordonnance dated 1735, is maintained, not by a metallic muselet, but by a crossed rope with a sealed.

Price: Around 160€
