Chapoutier & Devaux - Coteaux champenois - En Chanzeux - Rouge - 2019

Wine:

The 2019 Red Coteaux Champenois En Chanzeux expresses all the prettiness of pinot noir in crisp, floral aromas of fruit, displaying notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, peony, and spice on the nose. The palate is velvety and extremely refined, with smooth, delicate tannins. The fruit is juicy and crisp, with plenty of freshness and a persistent, slightly vanilla finish. A very fine bottle that has nothing to envy the best Burgundy crus!

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, picked in small crates at a ripeness close to 13.5%/vol. Maceration and fermentation in wooden vats, aged in 18-month barrels.

Limited edition of 1140 bottles.

Color:

Bright, intense ruby color.

Nose:

The aromas of delicate pinot present themselves with precision, purity and perfectly ordered maturity through flavors of black cherry, blackcurrant, floral touches such as peony and spices.

Palate:

Tightly wound due to its youth, sapid and fresh with mature aromas of fruit, this wine has a texture between silk and velvet, with smooth, delicate tannins revealing juicy, crisp juice. The finish is long and delicate, ending with hints of vanilla. This is a wine of great harmony. For a first, it's a great success!

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Roast Bresse poultry or guinea fowl, well-matured Galician prime rib, sweetbreads with new carrots, just-seared red tuna or in a red wine matelote, turbot served with risotto and a simple veal jus.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030, and even longer for enthusiasts.
