Tasting Note Champagne De Venoge Cordon Bleu Brut
Champagne de Venoge Cordon Blue Brut opens with a clear, pale golden-yellow 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 a beautiful minerality and a refined, long finish.
Wine & Food
Pair this champagne with fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, or shrimp to accentuate the sparkling acidity and fine mousse. Light fish dishes, soft cheeses, or a refined salad with citrus dressing are also perfect matches. For an elegant dinner, this Champagne deserves the company of dishes with subtle flavors: think grilled langoustines, sushi, or smoked salmon.
Other 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 Henri-Marc de Venoge. The house is known for its refined, vinous style Champagnes with a beautiful balance between fruit and elegance. Especially in the past 10 years, the quality of the champagnes has increased enormously, resulting in high ratings from international wine critics.
De Venoge pays great attention to the appearance of the bottles. The famous 'cordon bleu', the blue ribbon over the label, is a reference to the small river after which the family is named and to the nobility who wore such ribbons. In addition, some of the wines are bottled in a special bottle in the shape of a traditional decanter.
The strict selection of grapes and base wines, and a very long aging on the lees give the wines their special character. In addition to grapes from its own vineyards, the house buys grapes from carefully selected winegrowers. The house strives for top quality: only the juice from the first pressing is used, and the wines mature for a minimum of 3 years instead of the mandatory 15 months in the original bottle.
De Venoge applies a very strict selection of grapes. These are located in the better vineyards of Champagne, particularly in Epernay. Champagne is the northernmost wine region of France. 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 produces a still wine that ferments in the bottle, forming its mousse or bubbles.
After this cellar rest, the bottles are turned a quarter turn every day to get the sediment into the neck after about twenty days. The bottle is then upside down and is subsequently disgorged. This means that the sediment is briefly frozen in a special bath, after which the bottle is opened, the frozen plug shoots out. Then a little Liqueur 'expedition' is added and a cork can be pressed back onto the bottle.
