2009 Champagne Penet-Chardonnet, Cuvée Prestige Coline & Candice, Grand Cru, Verzy, Extra Brut

Description

Upon Alexandre Penet’s taking over the reins at Champagne Penet, he decided to create a new prestige cuvée to represent the finest expression of Verzy. The Coline & Candice Cuvée Prestige is named after his two daughters, and is sourced from only the best sites of Verzy. 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir are used, and all the wine was vinified and matured in barrique. This wine has notes of orange peel, white peach pricked with clove and golden apple, with a soft mousse and long mineral finish.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20
Rather flirtatious, lifted perfume. Very marked acidity, despite the late harvest. Not the completeness of some of this producer’s Pinot Noir wines. A bit drying on the finish.jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (August 2021)

The NV Extra Brut Coline & Candice Verzy Grand Cru is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both from Verzy, fermented and aged in barrel. A wine of balance and harmony, the Coline & Candice exudes character. Fermentation in barrel adds texture and richness, but without being especially noticeable. The interplay of dense fruit and the tension that is such a signature of Alexandre Penet's Champagnes yields a wine of real distinction. Disgorged on October 5, 2016. Dosage is 5.6 grams per liter.Drink 2017 - 2025antonio_galloni, Vinous.com (November 2017)
