Gracious gesture from the export director of Vignobles des Quatre Vents in Margaux, who, as a former sommelière from Champagne, brought a high level of expertise to the pairing of this top notch bottle of bubbly. The smooth cohesion of flavors, coupled with the drinkability and crispness, made for a truly smooth experience. A top notch selection, indeed.
