Written Notes

Detta är Anselmes stora multi-vintage cuvée som lagras minst 42 månader före degorgering och buteljeras med liten eller ingen dosage. För att göra en bra champagne utan dosage krävs det extremt högkvalitativa druvor, just för att man inte ska/bör dölja små skönhetsfel med insmickrande sötma. Det smakar mer om druvmaterialet; en liksom rå och naken champagne! Druvsammansättning (Cépage): tre efter varandra följande årgångar av chardonnay från Avize, Cramant & Oger. Lagring på sin jästfällning: >4-5 år före dégorgering. Dosage: ~1.5 g/l. Produktion: Endast 3000 flaskor från branterna. Pris: ca 140 US$ dollars. Richard Juhlin Poäng: 92(94). Tastinnote; Kraftfull näsa, av rostade nötter. Näsan var rik, omissigenkännligt Selosse - mandeltoner, blommigt (krokus och pelargon) oxidativa drag. Här fanns hårdhet pga syran, som Anselme säger kommer att balanseras av dosagen när den dégorgeras. Han är inte champagnemakare som är mycket för att maskera terroiren med dosage. De flesta av hans viner har docken liten dosage kring 1-2 gram. Smaken är lika intensiv, en smak där eken fortfarande har en viktig plats med aromer av rostat bröd (brioche). Bakom denna rostade ek, upplever man en lång komplex eftersmak. Vinet verkar också mer intressant efter en lång dekantering (vilket jag gärna utför med alla champagner som varit i närhet av ny ek) eftersom vinet är ytterst komplext. Efter ca halvtimmen visar den en uppsjö av nya aromer, anmärkningsvärt roligt och njutbart!
