There's a reason you see this Champagne on the by the glass list at Michelin-starred restaurants around here; it's a total overperformer for Blanc de Noirs in its price class. (100% Pinot Noir, the chief red grape in Champagne). Notes of lemon brioche, a touch of cream, toasted hazelnuts, baked apple and the barest sense of red currants are all in play here. Tangy, racy, and very dry-tasting for a Brut, this is a sexy-pants apéritif , but it also works amazingly on the dinner table with some salmon or your roasted vegetable tagine!
