Award Silver (Best in Class) - INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRIT COMPETITION 2011
Food Matching Note:
This well-structured, powerful wine is an ideal accompaniment to robust dishes such as roasts and fish in sauce.
Tasting Note:
The colour is deep yellow with golden highlights. The bubbles are fine and delicate. The intense, highly fruity bouquet releases scents of peaches and apricot jam with subtle hints of toasted brioche and vanilla. On the palate this full-bodied, fruity and graceful wine develops dominant golden peach flavours. The finish is distinct and evocative, with light, woody notes. In all, Les Folies de la Marquetterie is a full-flavoured, harmonious champagne distinguished by its immense richness and complexity.
Vinification Note:
Les Folies de la Marquetterie is a blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir. This cuvée is produced exclusively from grapes grown at the Folies, picked after the first “green” harvest, giving the wine optimum sweetness and aromatic maturity. Only wines from the first pressing are used, each plot being vinified in small volumes and certain lots in oak casks. Slow aging for 3 years in bottles brings the flavours of this champagne to perfect harmony
