Champagne Grand Cru AOP – Maison Alfred Gratien – Blanc de Blancs – white

Description

A golden colour that heralds freshness and maturity. The effervescence takes the form of a myriad of fine bubbles that give it lovely brightness and feed a full collar of foam on the surface.

The nose is open and particularly complex. Notes of white fruit come first, then give way to aromas of brioche and buttered toast

The attack on the palate is supple and broad. What is striking next is the quality of the cuvée’s texture, a smoothness that combines density of substance, a velvety caress and savoury freshness. The warm vinosity of the year is perfectly balanced by the delicious acidity and barely underlined by the dosage.

The finish is long and very tender, ending on a saline minerality.

This very fine 2015 vintage offers a wine of great quality with real ageing potential.

Pairings: At the table, it will enjoy the company of the most tender textures (langoustines, sea urchins, veal sweetbreads, veal grenadin, beef fillet).
