 White Sturgeon Caviar Pairing

The champagne is from the 2012 harvest with Chardonnay grapes from their own 11.7 acres of vineyards in the village of  Sézanne. Here the soils have sand mixed with chalk and marl. This champagne has a dosage level of 8 g/l. The champagne is slightly different than their Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru. This wine has more floral characteristics but is still a mineral and citrus filled champagne. On the palate there is additionally some toasted biscuit. It has a slightly mouth watering finish filled with mineral notes and some sweet citrus.

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): The flowery citrus of the champagne fills your mouth as the your palate is cleansed. A good Lady Elena Caviar and champagne pairing.

Pierre Moncuit Blanc de Blancs Champagne and White Sturgeon Caviar Pairing

This champagne was made from the 2012 harvest from their own vineyards in the village of Le Mesnil sur Oger. There is such freshness and purity present in this champagne. The wine is filled with minerality, green apple and citrus with a touch of pear skin.With a dosage level of 7 g/l it helps take some of the edge off on the finish.

I had the opportunity to meet Yves Moncuit, Pierre's son, and taste through some of his champagnes with White Sturgeon caviar from Lady Elena Caviar. Here is the first pairing.
