Thevenet-Delouvin

Empreinte n°2 | Bottle 75cl

Description

This Cuvée Empreinte No. 2 from Thevenet-Delouvin is a very fruity blanc de noir that surprises with its freshness and minerality.

This champagne is made exclusively from Pinot Meunier, the estate's emblematic grape variety, from the "Les Rieux" parcel on the Cerseuil terroir, on the left bank of the Marne Valley, made of clay on a limestone bedrock.

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out in small stainless-steel vats to fully reveal the power and brilliance of the grapes. The 360 bottles of this cuvée benefit from over 3 years of maturation, and are stirred and disgorged by hand. The Extra-Brut dosage is less than 4 g/L.

This cuvée has a golden color with a fine, delicate effervescence.

Empreinte numéro 2 has a nose with notes of raspberry and blackberry, revealing a champagne of great density and complexity.

On the palate, red fruits are present with the expected crunch and greediness, underlined by the freshness and tension of a citrus finish. Fine, elegant and powerful. A singular cuvée with great personality.

This Blanc de Noir, by Thevenet-Delouvin, is a gastronomic wine that goes perfectly with prime rib, duck parmentier or veal Orloff.
