Chandon descorcha una nueva versión pionera y vibrante del rosado del sur de Francia con el vino espumoso Chant des Cigales

El sur de Francia nunca ha estado tan lleno de sorpresa e inspiración. Al crear un nuevo vino efervescente con una mezcla inconformista,  Chandon  celebra la diversidad de sus terruños en un vino rosado espumoso único para una experiencia de degustación distintivamente vibrante y aromática.

El último lanzamiento de Maison Chandon surge de la visión de un lugar famoso por su tierra increíblemente fértil y sinónimo de mezcla, tanto una ubicación geográfica como la encarnación de olores, colores y sabores inspiradores. En el sur de Francia, los enólogos de Chandon exploran un mundo de posibilidades y abren un nuevo capítulo en las aventuras vinícolas trotamundos de la casa.

Chant Des Cigales es un encuentro innovador entre enólogos pioneros y un lugar definido por un crisol de energía innovadora, co-creado por un trío de enólogos y chefs de cave que combinan su excepcional savoir-faire:

  • Audrey Bourgeois, el mago residente y jefe de innovación enológica y coordinación técnica de Chandon en las seis Chandon Maisons internacionales;
  • Richard Geoffroy, el visionario que comenzó su carrera como enólogo en Chandon a mediados de los años ochenta antes de convertirse en el legendario chef de cave de Dom Pérignon;
  • Eric Lebel, maestro de la precisión y chef de cave en Maison Krug durante 22 años.

Los tres compartían el deseo de trabajar con variedades de uva exclusivas del sur de Francia, alejándose de los confines de donde se cosecharon las uvas. Creando un  vin d’auteurs  en lugar de un vino de un solo terruño, han elaborado una mezcla única que expresa el carácter ricamente diverso del sur de Francia. El estilo emergente de este rosado espumoso contemporáneo tiene que ver con la inclusión, más que con la exclusividad. El vino es  frémissant,  con una sutil efervescencia y una cautivadora complejidad aromática. Es una  naturaleza brut  que es a la vez orgánica y vegana, una novedad para Chandon.

Conocido por algo más que vinos espumosos, el sur de Francia tiende a proponer vinos elaborados con solo tres o cuatro variedades de uva. Desde el principio, el trío de Chandon imaginó un vino espumoso que se apartaría de las prácticas habituales y cambiaría las tradiciones. Su idea era una mezcla precisa de ocho variedades de uva diferentes cosechadas en una amplia franja, que se extiende desde Perpignan hasta Saint-Tropez. Con este enfoque innovador, el ensamblaje innovador de Chant des Cigales reúne garnacha, cinsault, syrah, rolle, cabernet sauvignon, mourvèdre, cariñena y tibouren.

Basándose en una amplia gama de variedades de uva emblemáticas del sur de Francia, los enólogos han aprovechado la rica riqueza natural de la región. Chant des Cigales captura la diversidad del Sur mientras abre nuevos caminos para redescubrir la región.

Desde su fundación en las estribaciones de los Andes argentinos en 1959, Chandon se ha definido por compartir y transmitir el saber hacer, inspirándose en la diversidad de su gente para elaborar vinos espumosos excepcionales. Para Chant des Cigales, la Casa se ha asociado con cooperativas y productores de renombre por sus viñedos orgánicos, donde el trío ha obtenido las mejores variedades de uva, todas cultivadas orgánicamente. Los creadores también trabajaron con los viticultores para elegir la mejor técnica para hacer el vino, analizando métodos tradicionales e innovadores. Audrey, Richard y Eric están completamente de acuerdo en que se tuvo que usar el método Charmat para preservar el carácter afrutado primario y la frescura del vino.

Durante más de dos años, mezclaron y probaron cientos de composiciones hasta lograr el equilibrio perfecto. Hicieron elecciones audaces, como agregar mosto de uva para iniciar la segunda fermentación, o fermentar el vino en tanques de presión de hasta 4 bares, lo que le dio a Chant des Cigales su característica efervescencia sutil pero persistente. Su obsesión general siguió siendo la elaboración de un  vino espumoso brut nature  único que revela toda la complejidad y diversidad de los aromas de frutas frescas, sin ninguna adición de azúcar en la etapa final.

Chant des Cigales tiene una composición viva pero delicada, servido junto o con un solo cubito de hielo que revive la efervescencia. Los sabores cambian, liberando una mineralidad tonificante. El carácter intrigante y la complejidad aromática de Chant des Cigales lo convierten en el maridaje perfecto con una tentadora variedad de platos.

Chant des Cigales, dice Richard Geoffroy, es sobre todo “una nueva experiencia de sabor, un  rosado frémissant  brut nature, orgánico y vegano, que muestra una elegancia natural, mucha fruta fresca, un carácter floral intrigante, salinidad, un ligero amargor tónico y una burbuja delicada y tentadora que llamamos  frémissant  por su sutil efervescencia”.

Con Chant des Cigales, Chandon celebra una comunidad de enólogos unidos por la curiosidad y el compromiso, por un deseo incansable de superar los límites del savoir-faire sin dejar de ser fieles a la misión de la Maison desde 1959 de innovar con vinos burbujeantes.

 

Chandon uncorks pioneering and vibrant new take on rosé from the South of France with Chant des Cigales sparkling wine

WINES & SPIRITS

 

The South of France has never been so full of surprise and inspiration. Creating a new effervescent wine with a maverick blend, Chandon celebrates the diversity of its terroirs in a unique sparkling rosé wine for a distinctively vibrant and aromatic tasting experience.

The latest drop from Maison Chandon springs from a vision of a place reputed for its incredibly fertile land and synonymous with blending, both a geographic location and the embodiment of inspiring smells, colors and tastes. In the South of France, Chandon winemakers explore a world of possibilities, opening a new chapter in the House’s globetrotting wine adventures.

Chant Des Cigales is a rule-breaking meeting between pioneering winemakers and a place defined by a melting pot of innovative energy, co-created by a trio of winemakers and chefs de cave who combine their exceptional savoir-faire:

  • Audrey Bourgeois, the resident wizard and Chandon’s head of winemaking innovation and technical coordination across the six international Chandon Maisons;
  • Richard Geoffroy, the visionary who began his career as winemaker at Chandon in the mid-eighties before becoming the legendary chef de cave at Dom Pérignon;
  • Eric Lebel, a master of precision and chef de cave at Maison Krug for 22 years.

All three shared a desire to work with signature grape varieties of the South of France, moving away from the confines of where the grapes were harvested. Creating a vin d’auteurs rather than a wine from a single terroir, they have crafted a unique blend that expresses the richly diverse character of the South of France. The breakout style of this contemporary sparkling rosé is about inclusivity, rather than exclusivity. The wine is frémissant, with a subtle effervescence and a captivating aromatic complexity. It is a brut nature that is both organic and vegan, a first for Chandon.

Noted for still more than sparkling wines, the South of France tends to propose wines made from just three or four grape varieties. Right from the outset, Chandon’s trio imagined a sparkling wine that would depart from usual practices and upend traditions. Their idea was a precise blend of eight different grape varieties harvested across a wide swath, stretching from Perpignan to Saint-Tropez. With this groundbreaking approach, the innovative assemblage of Chant des Cigales brings together grenache, cinsault, syrah, rolle, cabernet sauvignon, mourvèdre, carignan and tibouren.

By drawing on a vast array of emblematic grape varieties from the South of France, the winemakers have tapped into the region’s rich natural wealth. Chant des Cigales captures the diversity of the South while trailblazing new paths to rediscover the region.

Since its founding in the foothills of the Argentine Andes in 1959, Chandon has been defined by sharing and passing on savoir-faire, drawing inspiration from the diversity of its people to make exceptional sparkling wines. For Chant des Cigales, the House has partnered with cooperatives and producers reputed for their organic vineyards, where the trio has sourced the best grape varieties, all organically grown. The creators also worked with the growers to choose the best technique to make the wine, looking at both traditional and innovative methods. Audrey, Richard and Eric are all in complete agreement that the Charmat method had to be used in order to preserve the wine’s primary fruity character and freshness.

Over more than two years, they blended and tasted hundreds of compositions until they had the perfect balance. They made bold choices, such as adding grape must to start the second fermentation, or fermenting the wine in pressure tanks at up to 4 bars, giving Chant des Cigales its characteristic subtle yet persistent effervescence. Their over-arching obsession remained crafting a unique brut nature sparkling wine that reveals the full complexity and diversity of the fresh fruit aromas, without any addition of sugar in the final stage.

Chant des Cigales has a vivid yet delicate composition, served along or with a single ice cube that revives the effervescence. The flavors shift, releasing a bracing minerality. The intriguing character and aromatic complexity of Chant des Cigales make for perfect pairing with an enticing variety of dishes.

Chant des Cigales, says Richard Geoffroy, is above all “a new taste experience, a rosé frémissant brut nature, organic and vegan, that displays natural elegance, plenty of fresh fruit, an intriguing floral character, salinity, a slight tonic bitterness, and a delicate, inviting bubble we call frémissant for its subtle effervescence.”

With Chant des Cigales, Chandon celebrates a community of winemakers united by curiosity and commitment, by an indefatigable desire to push the limits of savoir-faire while remaining faithful to the Maison’s mission since 1959 of innovating with bubbly wines.

Power, art, boldness, purity and sheer joy are the hallmarks that characterise the style of Juan Andrés Maya, nephew of the renowned flamenco dancers Mario Maya, Manolete and Juan Maya Marote, and currently considered the ambassador of flamenco dancing in the 21st century. Seeking to promote this dance discipline as a form of art based on feelings and following the passion of the Maya dynasty, next Thursday, July 21, 2022, Juan Andrés will arrive at Dani Brasserie as artistic director along with his cast of dancers and musicians to perform El Arte del Flamenco (The Art of Flamenco).

The seventh floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid will become a flamenco stage for the first time. A unique experience that will allow visitors to enjoy this art form by combining two of the most outstanding Andalusian traditions: flamenco music and gastronomy. The Tablao La Carmela team will dance beneath the skies of Madrid to offer its audience the perfect harmony between dance and flamenco singing in its purest and most authentic state.

To accompany this special event, Malaga-born chef Dani García, together with Ismael Paul as head chef and his team, have designed a special menu to be enjoyed during the flamenco show. The proposal will begin with Frescor de Almendra, a soup of white prawns, herring roe and “cabello de angel” preserve and will continue with poached jumbo asparagus with corn cream, mascarpone and Iberian lardo. The main courses will be wild sea bass with marine velouté, cockles, mussels and rocket cream, and grilled pigeon with cocoa and glazed endive. And to finish with a sweet treat, there will be gianduja chocolate, with gianduja ganache, dark chocolate, arabica coffee ice cream, cardamom and cocoa. In addition, the fusion between gastronomy and art will be enlivened from the beginning with the music of DJ Sandro Bianchi and will be completed with exotic cocktails made by the creative mixology team of Dani Brasserie, whose creations pay tribute to great artists who have marked the history of Spain, such as Sorolla, Dalí, Velázquez, Almodóvar, Sara Baras and Gloria Fuertes.

About Juan Andres Maya

Born on January 6, 1972 in the heart of Granada’s gypsy quarter of Sacromonte and with a strong artistic family background, Juan Andrés Maya began dancing at the age of three in La Cueva de la Rocío, owned by his parents, where he soon became the main attraction for the many visitors to this popular Granada venue. He officially made his debut at the age of fourteen, when he travelled to Cairo with Cachado’s company and, since then, he has worked with great artists such as La Chunga, Miguel Bosé, Carmen Linares, Antonio Canales, Manolete, Estrella Morente, Farruquito and Miguel Poveda, and has toured internationally on several occasions. He has also performed several times for Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain and for Michelle Obama’s family. Juan Andrés is an artist who breaks with the boundaries of flamenco dance and, from a very young age, has delved into choreography and directing, broadening his creativity and bringing it to fruition in the production of shows packed with intricate details. He is currently touring at the head of two of the best flamenco troupes in the world: La Cueva de la Rocío (Granada) and El Tablao Flamenco la Carmela (Madrid).
