Pale golden in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it offers notes of red berries (raspberry, currant), brioche, and subtle mineral undertones. On the palate it’s rounded and supple, with soft red fruit flavours and lively freshness, finishing with a persistent, vibrant mineral edge. This Champagne feels pure, balanced and wonderfully expressive of its Pinot Noir roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoked salmon or gravlax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight canapés such as duck rillettes or mushroom tartlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft cheeses like Brie or Comté\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Another delicious Champagne from Delavenne.
