Description
The Insolite cuvée from Thevenet-Delouvin is a Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) produced in a limited edition of just 1,000 bottles.
It is an experimental cuvée created by Xavier Thevenet to explore new aromatic avenues. And the challenge has been met with flying colors.
This cuvée has very low dosage (3.8 g/l), is made from the 2003 harvest, and vinified exclusively in barrels (alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels). It is a natural cuvée, without artifice.
Presentation of Isabelle and Xavier Thevenet
The Insolite cuvée is composed mainly of Chardonnays from the right bank of the Marne Valley, with only the best grapes, the tête de cuvée, used in its composition.
It is an unclaimed vintage cuvée, as all the grapes come from a single year. The vinification was carried out entirely in oak barrels, and the wine was neither filtered nor cold-treated.
This is an unconventional cuvée that surprises with its purity, length, and elegance, but also and above all with its smoky character. It would be risky to guess its production area.
This cuvée is produced in very limited quantities.
Tasting
By Patrick BorrasRobe
The Cuvée Insolite Chardonnay by Thevenet-Delouvin has a light yellow color with greenish-yellow highlights. Its bubbles are fine, intense, and lively.
Nose
This wine offers a very pleasant nose with slightly honeyed floral notes.
Palate
On the palate, there is a delicate, mineral attack with lively bubbles that bring plenty of freshness. Citrus notes add a lovely liveliness.
Service
The Cuvée Insolite Chardonnay Thevenet-Delouvin is perfect as an aperitif. Very well-balanced, it lives up to its name, Insolite, with its unique style. I recommend serving this champagne at 9°C. This cuvée is one of my favorites.
