Louis Dousset Champagne, Blanc de Noir, Grand Cru, 2002
The family has been making Champagne since 1844. This Blanc de Noir is not your normal "celebratory" wine, but rather a calm, effervescent serious food wine. This can be paired with any food including red meat. A spectacular wine and a great Champagne.
Nose has stewed fruit, dried flowers and spice. A bit of sloe berry and praline. Rich and opulent.
Palate good attack, lush texture. Flavors permeate the mouth and end in a very clean, satisfying finish.
