Good oak balance.Saline. Extremely delicate mousse, very sweet palate. Luscious. Needs to develop the mid palate a touch given the oxidative note in his older wines. I question this but at present very stylish for this type of wine.
Producer: Piot-Sevillano
Piot-Sevillano Brut Prestige
Sweet, aromatic, touch of mint. Sweet palate. Simplistic, creamy, warm, touch of hot toast.
Piot-Sevillano Vintage
Touch oxidation on the nose.Hints of treacle and marmite. Freshness is there on the palate.
Piot-Sevillano Extra Brut Tradition
Opulent, sweet fruit nose. Tutti-fruity. Noticeable drop in sugar creates a rather barren style on the mid palate. Almost saline in the stark way like salt from a cheap breakfast.
Piot-Sevillano Brut Rose
Red salmon pink. Floral, very seductive nose. Impressive mousse, very fine. Great acidity. Good balance.
Piot-Sevillano Brut Tradition
Hot, biscuits. Very lean mid-palate. Very subtle mousse. Banana skin.
Piot-Sevillano
Nestled on the north bank of the Vallee de la Marne in the village of Vincelles is Piot Sevillano. Run by Christine and Vincet Scher-Sevillano, eighth generation wine growers, producing a simple, fruity wine that is a good representation of the area. With eight hectares under vine, they work predominantly with Meunier (75%) and the rest Chardonnay and Pinot noir (15% each). Their Tradition, Extra Brut and Rose have good balance and posses a very delicate mousse that makes for an enjoyable glass of Champagne. I have on a number of occasions been a little concerned with their Brut Prestige and Interdite which all seem to have a worrying oxiditative note that I just can’t get away from. Even with a vintage like 2008 I found notes of treacle, although there was the life giving acidity that you would expect. They choose to keep their sulphur contact to the bare minimum and I feel that this may well be the culprit. I will keep an eye on this as I try their wines in the future.
