Pehu-Simonet Face Nord Extra Brut NV
AOC Champagne, France
Blend: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay | 12.5% ABV
We are delighted to present this French Champagne made with a blend of Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, grapes. This Pinot Noir dominated Champagne shows crunchy red fruits, great acidity, and the 30% of reserve wine going back to 2005 adds another dimension and richness to this wine. Quite sumptuous though with an appealing mineral backbone.
It displays notes of almond, mineral, quince, red apple, red plum, and a hint of spice.
Service: Serve chilled between 8° to 10°C.
Food Pairing: This champagne goes wonderfully with a starter of large shellfish or pigeon without sauce. It can also be paired with pork, fatty fish or seafood dishes.
