Description
The Champagne Saint-Thierry by Chartogne-Taillet is a single-vineyard expression crafted with great care to showcase the terroir of Saint-Thierry. This cuvée is predominantly Pinot Meunier, complemented by small amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, highlighting the unique soil composition and microclimate of the Montagne de Reims. Disgorged in October 2020, this Champagne balances freshness with nuanced complexity, resulting from extended aging on lees and meticulous vineyard practices.
Blend
Primarily Pinot Meunier, with smaller portions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from a specific parcel in Saint-Thierry, emphasizing mineral expression and textural depth.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale golden color with fine, lively bubbles that form a refined mousse.
Nose: Aromas of orchard fruits such as apple and pear, layered with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, and hints of toasted almond and brioche, showcasing the influence of extended lees aging.
Palate: The palate is vibrant and structured, with flavors of stone fruits, lemon, and a mineral-driven chalkiness. The texture is creamy yet lively, balanced by a precise acidity that leads to a long, clean, and slightly saline finish, reflecting the Saint-Thierry terroir.
Aging Potential
This Champagne is ready to be enjoyed now for its freshness and depth but also has aging potential, developing further complexity over the next 5-7 years.
Food Pairings
The Champagne Saint-Thierry pairs wonderfully with dishes like poached fish, oysters, and light poultry preparations. It also complements creamy cheeses and seafood-based appetizers, such as scallops or crab.
