Champagne Charles de Casanove 'tête de cuvée' NV, France

Great colour and bead, intensity and complexity all point to a classic Champagne experience. Aromas of grapefruit and peach wrapped a toasted brioche autolysis, layers of nut and spice from bottle-age. A dry wine touches the palate with a a flourish of mousse, fine bubble and acidity. Flavours of apple and grapefruit, peach and time on lees showcase a crisp, saline palate with moderate+ intensity and complexity. A lovely wine ready to enjoy from day of purchase. Best enjoyed as an aperitif or with slightly salty starters such as breaded oysters of charcuterie. Fabulous value.

We used to serve this Champagne by the glass at Vinnies Restaurant in Auckland - that was back in the mid 1990s. Noce to see and taste the quality is still very good.
