Blanc de Blancs by Boizel: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Colour
The colour is a delicate pale gold with subtle green highlights. The effervescence is ample and delicate.
Nose
The nose is very delicate and blends refreshing floral fragrances (acacia flower, hawthorn) with delicious notes of brioche, honey, almond and citrus fruit.
Palate
The ample and silky mouth is seduced by this wine’s finesse, its minerality and its elegance. Intense aromas of hazelnut, grapefruit and toast are combined throughout the tasting. The finish is persistent and delicate.
Food and wine pairing
This Blanc de Blancs by Boizel is ideal as an aperitif, but it also goes well with white meats, prawns or grilled fish.
