TASTING NOTE

Peach, apricot and red berry aromas are followed by crystalized citrus, orange blossom and hints of brioche. The palate is rich with cherries, exotic fruits and a touch of lemon, vanilla and honey. The mouth feel is soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness, from the unique Armand de Brignac dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Delicious to drink now, however for those with the patience and a passion for champagnes with more developed character, it can be cellared for another 10 to 15 years.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Ideal as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with seared scallops, roasted quail and fresh water fish.
