CHAMPAGNE<br />
– STYLES –<br />
Mathilda Tedeschi from Dom Caudron<br />
not that commonplace in Champagne. The more developed<br />
root system produces more complex juice and therefore wine<br />
for the prestige blend.<br />
The co-operative also produces another Blanc de Noirs,<br />
entirely made from Meunier but half of which spends time in<br />
oak casks. This is quite unusual because use of oak is still a rare<br />
occurrence in the region and requires a very delicate touch.<br />
This is why the barrels are first saturated with water and the<br />
wines are regularly stirred. The resultant label, Cornalyne, is<br />
matured for 7 years and also has Brut dosage. It is designed as<br />
a food-friendly Champagne pairing with rich gourmet foods.<br />
The co-operative’s last offering is a blended Meunier rosé<br />
– fermented as a white and a red wine, with a touch of<br />
Chardonnay – which rounds off the range. Dosage is once<br />
again 9g/litre.<br />
