Champagne Dehours Trio S Non Vintage with White Sturgeon Caviar

Background

Champagne Dehours Trio S Non Vintage is a blend of 60% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot
Noir. This blend is made from a solera that began in 1998. The first bottling was from 2005. Each year a third of the solera is made into champagne and the solera is replenished with the wine from the current harvest. Dosage is 4 g/l.

Wine Description

The Champagne has a golden color with tiny bubbles. The aroma is flowery with orange citrus filled nutty
notes, ripe black berries and some minerality. A little bit of age is showing through with some oxidation notes.This is all so soft on the palate. On the finish there is a slight spiciness with the citrus shining and black fruit floral notes along with a spec of a sherry note.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon):The pairing brings out an orange toffee note as it cleanses the palate.
A great Lady Elena caviar champagne and caviar pairing.
