Method & Production
Tasting notes
A fresh, silky-smooth style of Blanc de Blancs. Lemon citrus, cantaloupe melon and proving dough fill the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, creamy textured and generous. A long finish with bright fruit clarity and a digestive biscuit note that lingers long.
Food matching
Incredible seafood wine – electric alongside anything that comes from the sea, whether fresh oysters, grilled lobster or white meaty fish with a beurre-blanc. Also, a great match to salty, oil-rich almonds, thinly sliced prosciutto and both classic and modern boldly flavored sushi, like vegetable dragon rolls.
