Cuvée Saint-Pétersbourg Brut Veuve Clicquot 75cl

CHARACTER AND POWER

This big one reserve pays homage to the resourcefulness of Madame Clicquot (Ponsardin's widow) who, continuing to confirm her great business intuition, faced the continental blockade that immobilized Europe at the time, managing in 1814 to achieve St.Pietroburgo his champagne. The success it was so devastating that the Russian nobility began to consider it the ultimate in drinks. Pinot Noir predominates in the blend, giving it its strong character, while Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, in smaller percentages, give it elegance and softness.

Intense straw color with golden reflections, it has very fine bubbles that rise up the glass. Smell that gives notes of ripe and dried fruit, brioche bread, almond brittle and sweet spices. Round palate, perfectly balanced between softness, acidity and flavor. Persistence on toasted returns.

Excellent as an aperitif, it pairs perfectly with dishes based on shellfish and seafood, stuffed pasta and vegetable quiches; Also worth trying with soft cheeses and bloomy rind.
