Jérôme Dehours' Cuvée Maisoncelle 2009 is a champagne of great aromatic intensity. It's a cuvée made from one of the few parcels of Mareuil-le-Port planted with Pinot Noir grapes. A rare cuvée, only 2700 bottles were produced in the 2009 vintage.
The Maisoncelle parcel is located in the heart of the terroir, mid-slope, where the exposure and slope are most favorable for the grapes to flourish.
Maisoncelle 2009 is a Blanc de Noirs champagne aged in wood. This ageing allows the wine to open up, gain in complexity and thickness, and offer aromas of beautiful intensity.
Malolactic fermentation is carried out to bring suppleness and roundness to this cuvée.
Maisoncelle 2009 has a golden color with hints of copper. Its bubbles are fine and evanescent.
On the nose, this champagne unfurls notes of yellow fruit, then evolves towards a more pastry-like touch.
On the palate, this is a round cuvée, with ample notes of ripe fruit underpinned by fine tension. The finish is long, with a hint of spice.
