Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs de Jade Denis Chaput
Golden yellow color, with thin pink veins.
The nose has aromas of fresh fruit and red and black berries: the green apple, red currant, blueberry and blackberry. Follows the fascinating scents of iodine from the salt brought on the piers by the sea wind. Taken together, the aromas are intense and fascinating, very clear in their extension.
On the palate the entrance is voluminous, by virtue of an excellent creaminess. It stretches between acidity and minerality extracted from marly soil. Carbon is clearly perceptible, so that, along with other hardnesses, it draws a rigorous structure. Aromas of fruit and citrus come from the mouth.
Accompanies with elegance dishes of shellfish and vegetables, such as the Catalan lobster.
The Maison Denis Chaput is classified as RM, because the entire production process, from cultivation to processing, is carried out by the company itself, using only grapes harvested in its own land.
The history of the Chaput family begins in 1862 when they moved to Arrentières in the Côte de Bar. After 70 years of producing still wines, in the 1930s they produce their first champagne: the “Cuvée des Rochottes”.
Today they continue the tradition with a range of clean, precise and mineral champagne, faithful to the territory they belong to.
