This vintage is often preferred over the hyped 2002 for its elegance and style, with potential to surpass it. The wine, a blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, offers a clear, very refined, and complex bouquet of fresh and stewed apples, yellow grapefruit, kaki, walnuts, tobacco, herbal tea, nougat, and spicy flavors. The palate is highly complex and elegant, firmly structured, and quite long. Expect notes of baked apple, toasted almond, honeycomb, candied lemon, fresh apricots, and warm brioche, balanced by lively acidity and an opulent, full-bodied texture. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This exquisite Champagne pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes like pan-seared scallops, lobster thermidor, or roasted turbot.
