(L028124) Pale yellow. Exotic and suave, with tangerine and pear aromas strongly accented by notes of potpourri and sandalwood. Broad and deep, with pear and orange flavors complicated by mineral and floral honey nuances. Finishes on an earthy white truffle note, with impressive depth and length.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
