Eye
Beautiful golden color with copper highlights.
Nose
A champagne of great aromatic richness. With a very high proportion of Pinot Noir, one would find what is nearly a Blanc de Noirs.
Palate
The taste begins with stone fruits such as white vineyard peaches. A spicy note emerges in a powerful and complex mouthfeel. A vinous Champagne of grand complexity, with a characteristic touch of quince jelly and pear tart.
Serving and Pairing
Ideal as an aperitif, with white meat, fish of firm character and texture, Chaource cheese.
Serve at 7 ºc.
