NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Guy Larmandier Blanc de Blancs Brut Zéro Champagne Grand Cru 'Cramant' is an exceptional sparkling wine that showcases the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay grape.On the nose, this wine displays enticing aromas of fresh green apples, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes. These aromatics are complemented by subtle hints of brioche and toasted almonds, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet.
The palate is vibrant and precise, with a lively acidity that dances on the tongue. Flavors of crisp Granny Smith apples, Meyer lemons, and white peaches dominate, providing a refreshing and invigorating taste. The absence of dosage (Brut Zéro) allows the natural fruit flavors to shine through, resulting in a bone-dry and crisp finish.
This Champagne pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and delicate flavors make it an excellent companion to seafood, such as oysters, scallops, or grilled fish.
