WINE DESCRIPTION
Every year since 1972, Esterlin Champagne has withdrawn a portion of their harvest, accumulating wines from each vintage to create reserve wines of unparalleled quality over time. A delightful sparkling wine it is that is crafted in the renowned Champagne appellation. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in exceptional vineyards. The vineyard features include a combination of chalky soils and ideal microclimates, which contribute to the wine's unique character. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including a second fermentation in the bottle, resulting in fine bubbles and a creamy texture.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Esterlin Brut Éclat Champagne is crafted using a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, which are carefully selected to create a harmonious and balanced flavor profile.On the nose, this Champagne offers enticing aromas of fresh green apples, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of brioche and toasted almonds, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet.
The palate is crisp and refreshing, with lively bubbles that dance on the tongue. Flavors of ripe pear, lemon, and white peach take center stage, accompanied by subtle mineral undertones. The wine's vibrant acidity provides a beautiful backbone, balancing the fruitiness and enhancing the overall freshness.
Esterlin Brut Éclat Champagne is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity and effervescence make it a perfect match for seafood, particularly oysters and shellfish. It also pairs well with creamy cheeses, light salads, and delicate poultry dishes.
