TASTING NOTES
With a very high proportion of Pinot Noir one is savouring what is nearly a Blanc de Noirs. A Champagne of great aromatic richness. 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.
SERVICE SUGGESTIONS
Ideal as an aperitif, with white meat, fish of firm character and texture, Chaource cheese.
Serve at 7 ºc.
