  Wine Information:
Hardly a fussilade-o-sucrose here, but rather a delicate sweetness. You should sneak
in a bottle next time you go for dim-sum. I will! You feel flowers spring up on your
palate. Lots of canteloupe, and paradoxically it seems even more refreshing than the
dry N.V. I mean, the fizz is delicious. Foie terrines yes we all know, but I rather envision
this for unagi, for pan-Asian preps involving mango and other exotic fruits, for salads
with lots of fruit and salt, maybe cantelope and lardons — even slaw. This is the
same wine as the basic NV but disgorged earlier, 12/09, and it’s still immensely attractive
and useful, and the finish coats the palate with wisteria and grape-hyacinth.

This is the same cuvée as the Brut N.V. only with 32 g.l. RS, rather like a Nahe Spätlese; wisteria and plum-blossom; head-turningly pretty and fine-boned; in many ways this is a perfect fusion-cuisine wine, but hardly a mainstream Champagne experience. Can I persuade you to reach for this, just once, when you’re thinking German?
