Liquid gold in the glass with fine lively bubbles. The Kinmeridgian soils are evident on nose – intense minerality followed by lemon zest, tart apple, pear, lemon cream, buttered toast and straw. Dominique Moreauโs champagnes always have an underlying power to their graceful character, both reflecting her style and terroir. Fresh and exuberant with a sharp attack on the palate of of flint, saline, meringue, candied ginger, tart green apple, lemon peel and a warm hazelnut finish wrapped in delicate vanilla. An electric champagne that has a story to tell.
No question to pair this Champagne with oysters and a zesty addition of mango jalapeรฑo mignonette. Absolutely spectacular!
