Tasting Notes
CHAMPAGNE BRUT SOUS BOIS
"Captivating and Original"
This unique cuvée, which is entirely vinified in oak, is composed of the three Champenois grape varieties. It totally masters the art of blending by renewing the ancestral spirit and savoir-faire of the original champagnes.
'Sous Bois'-being French for 'under wood' - is a nod back to the traditional past of Champagne when wines were fermented and aged in oak barrels. This method adds texture, weight and character to the wine and imparts a smoky, toastiness on the finish. Its Impressive, Rich and pinoty with smoky charcuterie, spice and almond aromas, some strawberry on palate. Soft and round; a magic wine and great with food.
- Composed of the three Champenois grape varieties in equal proportions
- Premier and Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs
- Premier and Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ
- Pinot Meunier from the right bank of the Vallée de la Marne
APPEARANCE: A radiant yellow crystalline appearance with golden glints brought to life by a luminous stream of persistent, fine bubbles.
AROMA: There is a rich olfactory impact which is harmoniously expressed (dried fruits, fresh citrus and white flesh fruits) and coupled with finely buttered seductive notes.
PALATE: A burst of flavours (notes of grilled brioche and toffee) thanks to the distinguished power and maturity which is a mark of any great wine of Champagne.
TASTING: Its strength of character and integrity make it an ideal accompaniment to poultry dishes or Girolle mushrooms.
