Champagne Vollereaux – Cuvée Marguerite Vintage Brut – Silver Classic & Elegant
21st December 2017
Congratulations to Champagne Vollereaux with their Cuvée Marguerite Vintage Brut which received a Silver medal at The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly awards 2017.
A panel of 36 top industry wine judges tasted all the entries for 2017 and were able to not only scores wines with medals, but also place them in to easy to understand categories such as Classic & Elegant: “This will likely be a stylish wine showing balance with a refined quality.”
The tumultuous effervescence maintains an attractive string of bubbles. The robe is light yellow with golden reflections.
The nose is of great finesse. It reveals aromas of peach syrup, and very delicious aromas (salted butter caramels), to finally flourish towards floral (orange blossom) and bergamot.
The mouth is rich and full. After a round and generous introduction, this vintage wine 2008 keeps an incredible freshness.
The balance of the flavors and the elegance of the aromas confer to this vintage a very beautiful harmony.
As an aperitif, this Champagne can accompany crispy sesame seed crackers or a meal of whitefish.
