Tasting notes
The wine presents a brilliant pale gold hue, accompanied by a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it offers an elegant bouquet of lemon confit, tangerine peel, white pepper, and subtle hints of mint and graphite. The palate is medium to full-bodied, displaying a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and a vinous core of fruit. A delicate saline finish adds complexity and length, reflecting the wine's phenolic richness and tension.
Pairing Suggestions
This Extra Brut Champagne is wonderfully versatile at the table. Its crisp acidity and mineral tension make it a perfect match for delicate dishes such as oysters, shellfish, and sushi. It also pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine, enhancing umami and aromatic flavors. For a cheese course, try it with aged, creamy selections like Comté or Parmigiano-Reggiano—its brightness cuts through richness effortlessly.
