DescriptionThe wine in this bottle is 50% from 2010 and the rest from the reserve wines of 2009, 2008, 2007 and was disgorged after four years on its lees.
Tasting NotesThe wine has a straw gold color with tiny streaming bubbles. There are aromas of sweet, yeasty, minerally citrus, with some sweet berry tones. On the palate there is a creamy mineral softness with the layered flavors. The finish is clean with some floralness. This is so enjoyable with its freshness of the fruit and it creamy softness all through out.
Lady Elena Caviar Pairing
Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): This was a delightful
pairing. The freshness and creaminess of the champagne with the creamy minerals
of the caviar complemented each other. The champagne also left your palate
cleansed and refreshed.
