Noir de Jade

This is a 100% Pinot Noir blend. Bottled in June 2020, it consists of 90% wines from the 2019 harvest and 10% reserve wines from the 2018 harvest.

What is it like?

Pale golden yellow colour with silvery grey highlights, this cuvée presents fine, very persistent bubbles. The nose is dominated by aromas of smoked limestone, iodine sea spray, blackcurrant, grapefruit, liquorice, blackberry, pomegranate and elderberries. On the palate, the attack is clean and fresh, with a soft, creamy effervescence. Fruity, full-bodied and crisp, the mid-palate is enhanced by a grapefruity acidity and a marly minerality that gives this champagne breadth and salinity. The finish is fresh, stony and juicy.

What food does it go with?

Some possible pairings: Stir-fried lobster and baby spring vegetables deglazed with champagne; Pata Negra Bellota.
