Charles Ellner Cuvee de Grande Reserve Brut NV is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. The dosage is 10 g/l.

Champagne and Caviar


There are aromas of fresh rich black plum, nuttiness, brioche and minerality. On the palate, this is all integrated with slight chalk notes. On the finish there is additionally a slight grapefruit bitterness making your mouth water.

With this pairing the slight chalk note appears with the caviar and the fruit is sweetened a bit. After the palate is cleansed the sweet fruit just lingers along to a mouth watering finish.
