Cuvée des Moines

The Cuvée des Moines shows a straw-yellow colour with coppery glints. The bead is delicate and lasts a long time. On the nose, a bouquet of flowers and a hint of dried flowers opens first. With a little air a fruity side follows, with white peach and mirabelle plum.

Then hazelnut and caramelised nuts step forward, giving the champagne a warm, slightly pastry-like depth. It is a brut from the house of Besserat de Bellefon, known for its soft, creamy mousse. It cuts a fine figure as an aperitif, and also with seafood, roast poultry or mild cheeses. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C. A white wine glass with a little belly suits it better than a narrow flute, because the nutty and fruity notes can unfold there.
