The tasting

Colour

The wine is adorned with subtle golden highlights.

Nose

The nose opens with intense fruity notes (apple, rhubarb, quince, mirabelle). After aering, aromas of hazelnut give the bouquet a delicious complexity.

Palate

The creamy effervescence precedes an expressive palate, indulgently mixing exotic, brioche and lightly stewed notes. Persistent, the finish reveals beautiful saltiness.

Food and wine pairing

PN VZ 16 Blanc de Noirs Brut goes perfectly with a thin tomato tart, pink lentils from Champagne cooked in a risotto style, veal sweetbreads with either chestnuts or cheese (Langres).
