Blanc de Blancs 2008

This Diamant de Vranken Blanc de Blancs 2008 is made from 100 per cent Chardonnay. The perlage is very fine, and the nose shows acacia blossom, orange and hazelnut. On the palate it is generous, dense and complex, carried by citrus fruit and fresh acidity, with a long finish. The ripeness of the vintage gives it fullness, while the freshness keeps it lively. It also stands out visually: the clear bottle is faceted like a gemstone and was designed specially for this prestige cuvée.

Drink it at 8 to 10 degrees in a white wine glass with a little volume. It is suited to an aperitif, to scallop carpaccio, to lobster and to Asian fish dishes. It also has great ageing potential. It is supplied in a gift box.
