Champagne Stephane Coquillette By Louis With White Stugeon Caviar

Champagne Stephane Coquilette with White Sturgeon Caviar
Champagne Coquillette is located in Chouilly. Here they create a dryer champagne from Chouilly (Grand Cru), Cuis (1er Cru 99%) for Chardonnay and d'Ay (Grand Cru) and Mareuil/Ay (1er Cru 99%) for Pinot Noir. Organic farming practices are very important to this grower.

2010 Stephane Coquillette Champagne By Louis Brut Zero Blanc de Noirs is a champagne of 100% Pinot Noir with no dosage and is aged in old oak barrels.
Champagne and Caviar
The champagne has aromas of minerally soft black fruits with caramel undertones. On the palate the caramel becomes more prominent with some spice notes all with underlying black fruits but with freshness. The finish includes some sweet brioche with rich fruit that lingers.

Lady Elena Caviar
With this pairing the caviar cuts the caramel out and leaves the freshness of the black fruits with sweet brioche. A great Lady Elena Caviar and champagne pairing.
