Clos Notre Dame 2014, Champagne Veuve Fourny & Fils

This wine offers a complex nose, blending light truffle, toasted brioche, apricot, and marzipan, which opens up to notes of fireplace smoke and almond paste. On the palate, the attack is soft, generous, and taut, with a fine, creamy bubble. Despite some signs of evolution (hazelnut and walnut) it retains a lively and vibrant character, enriched with spices (chili, black pepper) and subtle woody notes. Its long finish, with delicate bitterness, white fruit, and vanilla, evokes distant lands. This profound wine, both mature and dynamic, will pair beautifully with a veal blanquette
