Wine Description
An attractive nose with aromas of biscuit, hazelnuts, with a hint reminiscent of well-aged cognac. Creamy texture with refined bittersweet notes, hints of bergamot and hazelnut skin. Full-bodied, rich, beautifully balanced.
Tasting Notes
Attractive nose, biscuit, hazelnuts, heliotrope, a bit like well-matured cognac; creamy texture, very fine dark chocolate components, bergamot, nut skin; full-bodied, substantial and at the same time beautifully balanced; very sexy.
Food Pairing
This "Burgundy-style" sparkling wine is a great partner for various dishes. With almost three years on the lees, it has a savoury biscuit character. It goes well with all types of seafood such as lobster, octopus, mussels and scallops as well as veal.
