Lenoble

Riche "mag 17" | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Riche "mag17" from Maison A.R. Lenoble is a demi-sec champagne, meaning it is sweeter than traditional champagnes.

This cuvée is made from a blend of 20% Chardonnay from Chouilly Grand Cru, 35% Pinot Noir from Bisseuil Premier Cru and 45% Meunier from Damery. In addition to the different grape varieties, this is a blend of years, "17" corresponding to the harvest year used as the basis for the blend, in this case 2017. The mention "mag" means that some of the reserve wines have been aged in magnum, bringing precision and freshness to this cuvée.

The dosage of Cuvée Riche is high (32g of sugar per liter) to offer a round, coated cuvée.

This champagne has an intense, brilliant deep gold color. The mousse is dense and airy.

The bouquet is rich and expressive.

The wine is greedy, with lovely notes of candied yellow fruit and a hint of dried and exotic fruit. The finish is clean and airy, enhanced by a pleasant acidity. The balance between the wine and the highly integrated dosage is surprisingly fresh.

A.R. Lenoble's cuvée Riche "mag17" is particularly well-suited to spicy dishes, such as Thai cuisine or spicy Japanese dishes, but also to cheeses with character, such as Epoisse or Fourme d'Ambert.
