Champagne Vincent Couche Eclipsia Brut NV
Champagne, FranceVincent Couche is a young vigneron in the Côte des Bar, with 10 hectares of pinot noir in Buxeuil and 3 hectares of chardonnay in Montgueux. He has been running the family domaine biodynamically since 2008. This cuvée blends 31% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay, and 34% pinot meunier, of a mix of clay, chalk, and marls. This aged 3 years on lees, and disgorged in February 2022. Pouring quite deep yellow / golden hue, this enters with ripe golden apples, ripe Rainier cherries, and subtle smoked stones which reach across an expansive palate, scented with toasted meringue and brightened from within by a buzzy hum which lingers long on the finish. Unlike most champagnes, this gets better with time, so allow it (well chilled) to open in the glass.Tasted: 22 June 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $80.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
