Brut 2006

The Brut 2006 from Maison Napoléon relies on equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. More than ten years of ageing have given it a golden colour and a layered nose: spices, dried and exotic fruit, and a mineral touch. The attack is open and direct, with lively citrus nuances and spicy aromas. On the palate it stays fresh and balanced, and the finish has good length and ends on a saline note.

For this mature vintage, we recommend 10 to 12 degrees and a white wine glass or a large tulip glass that gives the complexity room. At the table it goes with grilled lobster in butter or a fillet of sole with citrus fruit. Its freshness and the saline note pick up the ingredients there.
