Bouteille · 0.75 lIrroy Extra-Brut
Irroy was founded in 1820 and today belongs to Taittinger. This extra brut cuvée draws on 30 crus and relies on 70 per cent Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, complemented by 30 per cent Chardonnay. At least 30 months of ageing in the cellar give it calm and cohesion. The perlage is bright, and the nose is expressive, showing white blossom.
On the palate this champagne is clear and precise, with a mineral balance and a finish of great length. As an extra brut it needs very little dosage, so structure and freshness take centre stage. It goes with oysters, seafood and steamed or pan-fried fish, but also works as an aperitif for lovers of dry styles. Serve it at 8 to 10°C in a white wine glass or a tulip glass so the floral aromas can unfold.
