Champagne Gaston Chiquet Review And Tasting Notes
Once you have tried Gaston Chiquet’s Champagne, you will never abandon it: the sumptuous elegance combined with a stellar drinkability make it one of the most exciting Champagnes in the entire Marne Valley.
The Gaston Chiquet winery is located in the heart of Champagne, in Dizy, and as tradition dictates, its Champagnes include an assembly of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
And precisely, the massive presence (40%) of the Meunier gives this incredible softness that envelops the whole palate as soon as this great Champagne is brought to the lips.
It may not be the most sidereal and multifaceted of the Champagnes, but it has a frightening stylistic precision, reflecting a skillful use of yeasts.
The bouquet invites a cascade of white flowers, almonds, and sugared almonds. Still, it is in the mouth that it amazes for its creaminess and compactness, with an impeccable balance, furrowed by fine bubbles and ever-flickering freshness.
