2006 is one of the three greatest vintages of the decade. After a cold and dry winter which had little impact on the vine, flowering was abundant from spring, resulting in a generous crop of fruit largely promoted by the warm, dry weather, followed by dry, heatwave conditions throughout July. In contrast, temperatures in August were unseasonably low, with humidity at record levels.
Thankfully September bounced back with the kind of fine weather to ripen the grapes to perfection, and picked lusciously ripe. . Harvesting went smoothly, with attractive sugar/acidity ratios, good potential alcohol and lovely body; all indicating great ageing potential.
2006 is an intense, harmonious vintage; remarkable balanced, it is full-bodied and expresses all the ripeness and overall freshness to underpin the aromatic quality of the wines.
An unusual, unexpected, coral-pink colour, deep, bright and crystal-clear, and tinged with magnificent ruby glints.
With its stunning appearance and harmonious bouquet, Sourire de Reims Rosé is a tempting proposition as an aperitif, or for an intimate soiree, while its sensual bouquet makes it a great match to a wide choice of subtle and varied foods.
Imagining a champagne is above all an art: that of collating the terroirs. Faithful to the vision of its founders, Abelé 1757 selects sites with the most promising aromatic potential.
To guarantee a constant supply of very high quality, Abelé 1757 has forged close links with a small circle of passionate vine-growers.
Lovers of their land, these craftsmen have long practised viticulture respectful of nature on plots sometimes as small as gardens.
Still in a state of shock after the Great War, the inhabitants of Reims sought to rebuild. Destroyed by the bombing, the city and its cathedral bear the scars of the conflict still. Henri Abelé is mobilising alongside major international patrons – including John D. Rockefeller and Edith Bangs – to finance the reconstruction of the ‘Coronation City’.
In the face of adversity, hope is reborn in the form of a statue with an enigmatic and cheeky smile adorning the building’s main entrance. Renamed “The Smiling Angel” by the population, the icon becomes the face of the rebirth.
In 1986, the Cellar Master unveiled an exquisitely shaped bottle. Its handling reveals a perfect balance that resonates like the golden ratio. Its design, elegant and refined, holds a mystery: the Sourire de Reims cuvée, a unique and singular expression of the finest terroirs of Champagne.
A founding preference for the House which conceived this cuvée in defiance of the passing of time. Created in limited quantities, it is part of the tradition of very great Champagne wines.
With exceptional precision, these natural archives of our harvests rest for more than ten years in the cellars. An exact and precious time so that each edition expresses all the spirit of an era and its personality.
We advise you to serve the Abelé 1757 Champagnes at a temperature between 9 and 12 ° C to fully reveal their richness. Serving your bottle too cold would prevent the expression of aromas.
Our Champagne is delivered at a stage of perfect maturity, its aging having already taken place in the cellar, controlled by its maker. However, it can be kept for several years as long as the bottle is kept lying down, in a cool place, away from light and draf
We recommend a low and constant temperature (around 10 ° C), high humidity, storage away from light, noise and vibrations.
