Tasting note Champagne De Venoge Cordon Bleu Brut
Champagne de Venoge Cordon Bleu Brut opens with a bright, pale golden color and a refined, lively mousse. The nose sparkles with fresh aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus fruit, subtly framed by nuances of brioche and honey, creating a complex yet accessible bouquet. On the palate, you experience an elegant balance between fruity freshness and soft roundness, with beautiful minerality and a refined, long finish.
Food Pairing
Pair this champagne with fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, or shrimp to accentuate its sparkling acidity and fine mousse. Light fish dishes, soft cheeses, or a refined salad with a citrus dressing also make a perfect match. For an elegant dinner, this Champagne deserves the company of dishes with subtle flavors: think of grilled langoustines, sushi, or smoked salmon.
Additional information
An internationally awarded Champagne house that combines small-scale production and high quality with a unique character.
Champagne house De Venoge was founded in 1837 by the Swiss-born Henri-Marc de Venoge. The house is known for its refined, vinous-style Champagnes with a wonderful balance between fruit and elegance. Especially over the last 10 years, the quality of the champagnes has risen enormously, resulting in high ratings from international wine critics.
De Venoge pays great attention to the appearance of its bottles. The famous ‘cordon bleu’, the blue ribbon across the label, is a reference to the small river the family is named after and to the nobility who wore such ribbons. In addition, some of the wines are bottled in a special carafe-shaped bottle.
The strict selection of grapes and base wines, and a very long aging on the lees, give the wines their distinctive character. In addition to grapes from its own vineyards, the house buys grapes from carefully selected winegrowers. The house aims for top quality: only the juice from the first pressing is used, and the wines are aged for at least 3 years instead of the mandatory 15 months in the original bottle.
De Venoge employs a very strict selection of the grapes. These are located in the better vineyards of Champagne, particularly in Epernay. Champagne is France’s northernmost wine region. The soil consists of thick layers of chalk, which gives the grapes enormous finesse. Champagne De Venoge is created after the harvest and alcoholic fermentation of the grape juice. This fermentation yields a still wine that undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, thus forming its mousse or bubbles.
After this cellar rest, the bottles are turned a quarter turn every day to move the sediment into the neck over about twenty days. The bottle is then upside down and is subsequently disgorged. This means the sediment is frozen in a special bath, after which the bottle is opened and the frozen plug shoots out. Then, a little Liqueur d’expedition is added, and a cork can be pressed onto the bottle again.
