Rating

Wine Spectator 98 points (Oct 10 2012) This harmonious Champagne offers luxurious texture, aromatic accents of spring blossom, crushed thyme and chai, powerful, focused acidity and rich notes of lemon meringue, hazelnut, black currant and fresh porcini mushroom. The full package. Impressive. Drink now through 2028. From France.—A.N.

Food pairing

Perfect accompianiments to rich creamy dishes like turbo in hollandaise and sea bass in white butter or poultry in cream sauces. Also great with thick creamy dessert. Almonds and vanilla are a bold match.
