Note di degustazione
A clear pale pink/salmon color, the NV Champagne Oeil De Perdrix Brut leans into its pretty fruit and delicacy on the palate, with fresh notes of wet stones, dewy spring earth, fresh peaches, strawberries, orange blossoms, and pastry dough. Medium-bodied, it expands on the palate, with a frothy, lively mousse, and it’s energetic underneath, with a mouthwatering and dry finish. It’s very versatile for the table but also delightful on its own. I would love it with Chaouerce. Drink 2025-2040. The base is 2022, and it was disgorged in April 2024, with 6.5 grams per liter dosage Delphine Vesselle is a third-generation winemaker located in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy.

The NV Champagne Oeil De Perdrix Brut is a bright pink salmon hue, and leads with ripe tropical notes of mango, peach puree, pastry dough, and floral perfume. Medium-bodied, the palate is what sets this wine apart, with a refined and pinpoint mousse, a clean, stony texture, and a delicately rounded mid-palate. It’s drinking beautifully now but should age slowly over the coming 10-12 years. Disgorged April 2023.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Oeul de Perdrix Brut has a pale salmon hue and a very pretty perfume of rose water, orange blossom, and peach. Elegant and medium-bodied, with pithy grapefruit citrus and salty minerality, it should improve over the next 10-15 years.

Disgorged in May 2021, Vesselle's latest NV Brut Oeil de Perdrix exhibits aromas of red berries, peach pit and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and a pillowy mousse, it's a fine-boned, elegant rosé that's showing well.
