René Geoffroy Empreinte 2015 DEMI (Half Bottle)
100% Pinot Noir
30-year-old vines
Without malolactic fermentation
Separate maturation of the individual vineyards in demi-muids (600-liter barrels)
Dosage: 3g/l
Soil: clay and chalk, with fragments of flint; a selection of very early-ripening plots above Cumières (Barremonts, Demoiselles, Houtrants)
VINIFICATION:
Harvested and sorted by hand; pressed on a traditional Coquard wine press; only the cuvée (first
juice of the pressing) is selected; vinification plot-by-plot to 80% in tuns, demi-muid casks. Avoidance of malolactic fermentation.
TASTING:
On the nose, a coated, flattering bouquet of a complex palette of aromas of red fruits; airy, bright
and vigorous in the mouth. Boasting great freshness, generous doses of strawberry and
redcurrant dictate, punctuated by hints of fragrant flowers, such as peonies.
It maintains a beautiful balance with a persistent finish.
PAIRING:
By virtue of its power, this Champagne Empreinte complements the expressive flavours of
gastronomic cooking remarkably well. Bresse chicken with morel mushrooms, quail with grapes
or a fricassee of forest mushrooms harmonise perfectly with this Champagne Empreinte, served
at 11-12° C.
