Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright golden color with fine, persistent bubbles that create a delicate and elegant mousse.
Nose: Aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and green apple, complemented by notes of toasted almond and brioche, reflecting the extended aging on lees. Subtle hints of chalky minerality add to its complexity.
Palate: The palate is fresh and crisp, with a creamy texture. Flavors of lemon, pear, and white peach are balanced by a vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone. The mid-palate reveals hints of buttery brioche and toasted nuts, leading to a long, refreshing finish with a touch of salinity.
Aging Potential
This Blanc de Blancs Magnum is ideal for immediate enjoyment but also has a strong aging potential, allowing it to evolve beautifully over 7-10 years, developing richer flavors and deeper complexity.
Food Pairings
This elegant Champagne pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes like oysters, seared scallops, or sushi. It also complements soft cheeses such as goat cheese or more aged selections like Parmesan, as well as white truffle-infused dishes.
