With its golden yellow tone and exquisitely sparkling mousseux, this 2004 Cuvée Louis impressively introduces a unique taste experience. Already at first smell, it unfolds its expressive presence. A bouquet of yellow fruits, wild raspberries, seaweed and herbs makes itself felt. Let this wine come into contact with air and it reveals further complex aromas: Light tobacco nuts, latte, toasted almonds, nougat and dried fruits. It is an ode to richness and luxury in one breath.
On the tongue it unfolds impressive creaminess, juicy and rich fruits like dried figs and apricots as well as a fine honey sweetness. The whole is enriched by a striking minerality and tangy carbonic acid. This clearly demonstrates that volume and harmony are not achieved merely by adding extras, but by the quality of the grapes and the terroir itself. The aftertaste of this wine seems endless and persistent. Serve it not too cold and from Burgundy glasses to bring out its full beauty, and it will blend seamlessly with any upscale dish. A true pleasure!
Recommended dishes here are an aside pappardelle pasta with black truffle or a delicate casserole of oysters and scallops in puff pastry. Another option is salmon with a delicate champagne-vanilla-orange butter and fresh sugar snap peas. Bon appétit!
