Vincent Couche Champagne "ADN" Montgueux

Full flavored with yeast, brioche and pear flavors. An oxidative style, notes of sherry with some malo-like roundedness. Very long finish.

dsg 12/2020 Magnificent complex nose where floral aromas, smoke, citrus fruits and chalk intertwine. Energetic mouth on sweet spices, wet stone and white flowers. Magnificent balance with a filigree acidity that brings this racy wine to life.

Vincent Couche ADN Montgueux 2009 ist Champagner trinken für fortgeschrittene Bereits in der Nase ist dieser Wein ein komplexes Monument: Apfelschale, kandierte Birne, Curry, Safran und Blätterteig strömen aus dem Glas, das alles ist mit einer noblen Oxidation unterlegt.

The finish is crisp and lingering, with a subtle hint of brown …

The nose was remarkably fresh, showing lifted florals, smoky minerals, hints of citrus and young peach. On the palate, zesty minerals and spice with smoky crushed stone saturated, as rich-ripe stone fruits, sweet spice and inner florals flooded the senses. The finish was long with lasting ripe stone fruit, zesty acids, brown spice and a lingering hint of sweetness. What a pleasurable glass of Champagne.
