Champagne Clandestin "Boreal" NV (2021) Blanc de Noir Brut Nature, Pinot Noir

From: Bar-sur-Aube, Champagne, FranceVarietal: Pinot Noir Tasting Notes: Benoit Doussot's detailed approach comes through in the glass. Boréal is a Blanc de Noirs that embodies the grace of Pinot Noir, showcasing a delicate bouquet of wild summer strawberry, bright cherry, pale floral tones, brioche, and stony minerality. The palate emerges with focused energy and textural aliveness, mirroring the complexity of the nose while delving into a wonderfully fresh, dry, and savory territory with a finish that keeps you tuned in and wanting more. Pairing: This is a wonderful Champagne to start the evening on its own or alongside seafood appetizers like freshly caught crab with a simple butter-lemon sauce. It will also lend itself well to roasted white meats and savory, umami dishes like wild mushroom risotto or chicken with morels (see recipe below).
