Champagne Germar-Breton Millesime 2014

Get to know: Champagne Germar-Breton Millesime 2014

Tasting Note

The Millésime 2014 is expressed by its harmony and length. Exclusively made from Chardonnay, and very low dosed, this champagne has a beautiful aromatic intensity. Its long ageing in the cellar enhances its complexity and character. Refined, fresh, and creamy, this exceptional cuvée offers a natural and perfect balance between acidity and delicacy, with an elegant finale note.

Smoky notes, accompanied by pleasant aromas that are both sweet and acidulous, reminiscent of English candies. Elegant fruity and floral scents are expressed, with pear, white, and yellow flowers standing out. In the mouth, a round texture dominates with flavors of apricot, peach, and pear. Delicate notes of brioche and vanilla round off the tasting. The bubbles are fine and generous.

A mature, complex champagne that would be fantastic as an aperitif or as a pairing to roast poultry.
