TASTING:

On the nose, an enveloping and flattering bouquet of a complex palette of red fruit aromas. The palate is airy, lively and nervous. Very fresh, it imposes gourmet flavors of strawberries and red currants, punctuated by notes of fragrant flowers such as peony. Beautiful balance and lingering finish.

AGREEMENTS:

Thanks to its power, this Champagne Empreinte, an extraordinary ally of gastronomy, will go well with expressive flavors. A Bresse chicken with morels, a quail with grapes, a fricassee of wild mushrooms will find perfect harmony with this Champagne Empreinte served at 11-12°C.
