Boléro 2009 Extra-Brut

The Boléro 2009 Extra-Brut is a pure Pinot Noir from the house of Fleury. Its nose feels deep and warm: nuts, toast and dried vanilla shape the first impression. On the palate these notes continue and meet salty minerality, citrus fruit and pear.

The interplay of dosage and acidity makes the champagne fresh and creamy at the same time. It can be cellared for 5 to 10 years and will probably gain depth as it ages. At the table it goes with pan-fried scallops, whose delicate sweetness it picks up. A panna cotta made with almond milk is another appealing partner. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C in a generous white wine glass so that the toast and vanilla can open up nicely.
