Champagne Brut AOC Prestige 2011 Charles Ellner

The Prestige by Charles Ellner is a high-quality vintage bubble obtained from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from the Grand Cru of Avize, Moussy and Tauxières respectively, for the white berry variety, and from those of Moussy and Epernay, for the berry variety black, some of the most suitable areas of the Champagne region.

The blend is decidedly in favor of Chardonnay grapes which constitute 60-72%, with Pinot Noir which brings its best characteristics of perfume and roundness. The vinification is carried out in the absence of malolactic fermentation and, after a short passage in large oval wooden barrels, the cuvée undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle with permanence on the lees between 60 and 72 months.

The color is straw yellow with greenish reflections; fine and persistent bubbles. Appreciable on the nose its amplitude and complexity of aromas that unfolds around the notes of white flowers and lemon, coordinated with the delicate hints of sweet almond that come from the prolonged aging on its lees. In the mouth it reveals a beautiful tension and a velvety closure on a soft and very delicate finish.

Aperitif for special occasions, it is ideal to accompany refined fish dishes.
