Champagne, FranceCordon Bleu tastes as good as its classy label looks. Look for an explosive green apple, white fruit, mineral nose with touches of honey and toast. The attack is crisp, pitching citrus, oyster liqueur, crushed hazelnuts, and a creamy texture that runs through the finish. Perfect for seafood starters or appetizers. The blend is 33% pinot noir, 33% chardonnay and 33% percent pinot meunier, with no oak, 36-48 months on the lees, and a dosage of 5.6 g/L. With an average age of 15 years, the reserve blend could make up as much as a third of the final blend. A terrific gastronomic bubble.Tasted: 31 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:
