Champagne Gaston Burtin, Hommage à Gaston Burtin Brut

A champagne made from grapes from 50 villages, with the three classic varieties in the blend. Almost half (49%) consists of reserve wines from a solera, which provides continuity and depth. The wine ages for a minimum of 3 years on the lees in the cellar.

What you smell
Ripe fruit with peach and apricot, and a bready note of brioche.

What you taste
Stone fruit and a light honey note, with a creamy, generous flavor. The fresh acidity keeps it crisp and provides a lively finish. The fine, persistent bubbles make it smooth on the palate.

How it's made
Blend of 53% Meunier, 26% Chardonnay, and 21% Pinot Noir, with a base year of 2019 and 49% reserve wines from a solera. Matured for a minimum of 3 years in the cellar. Dosage of 8 g/l, which keeps it just on the drier side.

Serving
Serve well chilled at 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. Use a white wine glass instead of a narrow flute to better appreciate the aromas.

Pairs well with

  • Oysters: The fresh acidity and bubbles cut through the briny creaminess.
  • Smoked salmon on blini: The bready note complements the blini, and the fruit refreshes the fatty fish.
  • Baked chicken with creamy sauce: The generous flavor and honey note match the sauce, while the acidity keeps it light.

- Oysters: the fresh acidity and bubbles cut through the salty creaminess.
- Smoked salmon on blini: the bready note matches the blini and the fruit refreshes the oily fish.

Maison Burtin is een Champagnehuis in Epernay, opgericht in 1933 door Gaston Burtin in het historische Château des Archers. Zijn beste cuvées hield hij decennialang binnen een select, privé kringetje; pas sinds 2022 zijn ze publiekelijk te krijgen, onder de naam Hommage à Gaston Burtin.

Champagne is een methode voordat het een smaak is: een tweede gisting in de fles die het koolzuur vastlegt. Wat de fles daarna karakteriseert, is de assemblage van druiven, dorpen en oogstjaren die de chef de cave maakt.
