Forget Chemin Carte Blanche Champagne Extra Brut NV

This cuvée is aromatically complex: the dried and white fruits floating out of your glass blend together perfectly. The mouth feel is dense, fresh, and well balanced. All together this creates a wine that is large, rich, and invigorating. It is a champagne for every moment, though specifically ideal for the aperitif or happy/cocktail hour. It is the champagne of the party. Serve it around 9° C or 48° F, with either chicken or turkey in a white sauce, sautéed mushrooms, or with the popular champenois dish: bouchée à la reine, essentially a pastry filled with the ingredients listed above.
