Marguet La Grande Ruelle 2012

Beskrivelse

La Grande Ruelle 2012 er én af topchampagnerne fra Marguet. Med en gylden farve og delikate aromaer af hvide blomster, citrus, ristet brød og nødder, byder den på en forførende duftoplevelse. Smagen er præget af friskhed og finesse, hvor frugtnoter harmonerer med dybere toner af brioche og honning. Den livlige syre og velafbalancerede struktur kulminerer i en forfriskende finish, og eftersmagen afslører komplekse mineraler og nøddeagtige nuancer. Med lidt ilt udfolder der sig et efterårsunivers i glasset med noter af jordbund, nedfaldsblade og trøffel. Forførende og kompleks champagne.

Anmeldelser

“The 2012 La Grande Ruelle Grand Cru is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from lower hillsides on the western part of Ambonnay. The wine has an intense straw-golden color and opens with a pure, deep and complex bouquet with earthy/mineral, iodine and ripe fruit aromas. (Only when I went back from the other cuvées, I noticed a lactic flavor that I didn’t pick up before.) On the palate, this is an elegant, fresh, densely textured and firmly structured, very pure and salty-mineral Pinot Noir with a long, tensioned finish and lingering iodine flavors. An impressive, resolute character! Designated on the back label as Extra Brut, this is a non-dosé Champagne that was disgorged in May 2017. No added sulfites. Total production: 2,481 bottles. Tasted May 2018. 92 points.” – Wine Advocate/Stephan Reinhardt

“(…) As you know, I am extremely fond of the sesame oil-like perfume that Selosse has in his vineyard wines. I have often found similarities with that note in many growers who use equivalent methods, but it is only in this exciting vineyard wine from Ambonnay that the perfume has appeared in an identical way. Lovely! Of course, there is also a terroir-typical Ambonnay note that draws years of sensual red fruit with orange hints. It is only a certain oxidation bitterness in the aftertaste that lowers the score below the 95 mark. There is thus a certain risk that the wine will not age as well in the same way as with Léclapart, for example. That note could have been easily avoided with a few grams of oxidation-suppressing sugar.” – Richard Juhlin om 2015-årgangen af La Grande Ruelle.
