Winemaker Notes
The color is a shiny, pale copper. On the nose, it reveals an elegant bouquet of freshly baked brioche, seamlessly integrated with lees-derived complexity. The lees’ characteristics are enriched by delicate nuances of grape skin and subtly woven toasty oak, underscored by hints of prune and lemon zest. The mouthfeel is dry and vibrant, presenting a refined mousse (tiny bubbles) layered with ripe fruit notes. The wine displays impressive concentration and clarity, driven by lively acidity and pronounced minerality. The mousse, the fruit, and the lively acidity achieve harmony—all enveloped in an elegant, yeasty texture that culminates in a long, savory, and dry finish. This is an exceptional sparkling wine that has impressive aging potential and is a perfect food wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Noblesse Oblige pairs beautifully with caviar, oysters and any other fresh shellfish. Its vibrant acidity and mousse cleanse the palate between bites of buttery or creamy dishes, while its structure stands up gracefully to the richness of smoked salmon and robust cheeses. It also pairs remarkably well with meaty main course staples and, of course, makes for a lovely toast!
