Carte Blanche Brut

The Carte Blanche Brut is the uncomplicated entry point to the Veuve J. Lanaud range. It brings together all three of Champagne's grape varieties: on the palate Chardonnay leads, while the two Pinots provide depth and length. The nose shows brioche, stewed plums and yellow fruit. On the palate the champagne stays true to this line: juicy, generous in fruit and well balanced by restrained acidity.

The finish is soft and surprisingly complex. Serve the cuvée at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip glass or a slim white wine glass. It suits aperitifs and receptions, but also mixes well in cocktails. At the table it goes with vegetarian dishes, such as a Sicilian-style vegetable lasagne, whose tomatoes and vegetables pick up the fruity side of the wine.
