Champagne Fernand HUTASSE

Blend: 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay

Eye: When this clear wine is served, a generous foam builds a thick necklace of fine bubbles and enlivens a pleasant yellow colour with delicate amber reflections.
Nose: Expressive and elegant, the first nose reveals the beautiful maturity of this cuvée as well as subtle aromas of roasted almonds and hazelnuts. Upon aeration, refined notes of candied yellow fruit (Mirabelle plum, mango) appear, while the finish lingers on a hint of light tobacco and star anise which complement this exquisite aromatic palette.
Palate: The supple attack on the palate with an underlying freshness gives way to a beautiful texture accompanied by liquorice notes. The purity on the palate confirms the maturity felt on the nose. The finish is straight and quite long.

Champagne & food pairings:
Crab claws with home-made mayonnaise
Queen scallops on toasted bread and on a bed of red endives
Sushi, maki, sashimi, …

In limited edition with numbered muselet, do not miss this new cuvée which combines elegance and freshness.
