Champagne Sacy Soeur et Frère - Les Courtisols du Fut(ur) 2019 - Brut Nature
Les Courtisols du Fut(ur) 2019 from Champagne Sacy Sœur et Frère stands out as a grand cuvée, born from the 2019 vintage unanimously recognized as exceptional, even historic in Champagne. The light golden robe with luminous reflections is crossed by a fine and persistent effervescence, a sign of great mastery and long lees aging. The nose opens with intensity and precision on aromas of ripe yellow fruits, juicy pear, and mirabelle plum, complemented by notes of candied citrus and white flowers. Upon aeration, deeper nuances of fine brioche, fresh almond, and damp chalk appear, a signature of a great terroir and ambitious aging. The whole impresses by its purity, depth, and nobility, without ever falling into showiness. From the first aromas, the wine imposes a feeling of obviousness and exceptional maturity.
On the palate, the attack is broad, energetic, and perfectly taut, carried by a dense yet very fine texture. The structure is remarkable, combining controlled power and crystalline freshness, with an almost tactile sensation of chalk and stone. The flavors of ripe fruits stretch over notes of citrus zest, hazelnut, and toasted bread, supported by precise acidity that gives the wine an impressive length. The work on time, lees, and texture confers a rare complexity to the palate, while maintaining exemplary clarity. The bubbles become creamy, perfectly integrated, serving the texture rather than the sensation of effervescence. The finish is long, vibrant, saline, leaving an impression of depth and serenity. This is a champagne of stature, built to last.
Les Courtisols du Fut(ur) 2019 is a gastronomic champagne for great moments, destined for exceptional tables as well as contemplative tastings. It pairs magnificently with noble products such as turbot, langoustine, Bresse poultry, or fine and refined cuisine where the wine can fully interact with the dish. It can also stand on its own, enjoyed slowly, to appreciate the full grandeur of this extraordinary vintage. Served around 10 to 12 °C, in a large glass, it gradually reveals all its aromatic layers. Its aging potential is immense, and it will gain even more complexity over the years. This is a great champagne of vision, rigor, and long time, confirming the unique talent of Sacy Sœur et Frère and placing the 2019 vintage among the greatest of all time.
