Code Noir
Champagne has a code firmly rooted in its history:
BLACK as PINOT
The trace of its roots on the white page of the slopes of our Coteaux
The elusive, spicy softness of a summer’s night
| Celebration |
The world’s first decoding of the vine genome from the PINOT NOIR variety – September 2007. |
|---|
| Composition | GRANDS NOIRS raised in oak from the Forest of Argonne, Champagne’s historic forest. |
|---|
| To the eye | A luminous and delicate blonde colour, crowned with creamy foam. |
| Nose | A mature and fine nose of beautiful complexity, with cooked pair and cherries, opening out to gourmet notes of yellow flowers, peaches, vanilla and white pepper and then warming to finely spiced perfumes of honey, hinting at a glowing future. |
|---|
| To the palate | This is dense, warm and winey, very well balanced, with lively effervescence and beautiful freshness. The tender texture and mellow tannins, added to the crisp, chalky impression of the finish, are typical of how it was raised and enliven a beautiful array of aromas. |
| Tasting & Serving | CODE NOIR is a brilliant and nuanced romantic, asserting its personality and always ready to seduce. Served at 8°C, it is a refreshing aperitif, while at 12°C, it will enhance quality poultry, veal or fish in cream sauce. |
