Tasting note: In the glass, it displays a bright, straw-yellow color with fine bubbles. The nose unfolds elegant notes of citrus fruits, green apple, acacia blossom, and brioche, accompanied by a cool minerality. On the palate, the 2007 Belle Epoque is creamy, with well-integrated acidity, a delicate fruit tension, and a long, refined finish. It is expected to reach its optimal drinking window into the late 2020s, with the wine continuing to develop its complexity over time. Food pairing recommendation: A perfect accompaniment to oysters, lobster, scallops, or a fine cheese board with varying degrees of maturity; also ideal with foie gras for a festive finale.
