This mixed case features three top-notch wines.
2 bottles x Fresne Ducret Le Chemin du Chemin Premier Cru Champagne (Champagne, France)
Sparkling | Chardonnay
96 points by Wine Align
Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Le Chemin du Chemin is a foray into the essence of their winery. The first aromas are of apricot and fresh bread, with floral notes, giving way to more complex notes of praline, hazelnut and shortbread. In the mouth, delicate brioche aromas, creamy and buttery, followed by a savouriness with hints of tea. Particularly well-balanced, with a soft astringency. Aged for a minimum of 48 months on the lees in underground cellars.
Pairing suggestion: Pair this excellent champagne with all the classics matches: oysters, light fish dishes... We also recommend to pair it with fried chicken, porchetta, potato chips or seared scallops. It really does goes with everything!
2 bottles x Château de La Chaize Pouilly-Fuissé 2019 (Beaujolais, France)
White | Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé lies in southern Burgundy’s Maconnais region and is produced only from Chardonnay grapes. For this wine, the grapes were hand harvested from a selection of different vineyard sites within Pouilly-Fuissé from ~50-year-old vines. Traditional fermentation takes place at a low temperature, and malolactic fermentation is blocked. 50% of the wine is aged in stainless steel, 50% in foudres.
Notes of citrus, iodine and flowers on the nose, while on the palate the wine is balances bright acidity and minerality with an ample body and yellow fruits and spice flavours.
Pairing suggestion: The mineral notes are pairing well with seafood. The well-balanced acidity goes nicely with white meat like veal or poultry, and for sure goat cheese. Its rich aromatic notes pair well with spicy and exotic foods and the acidity will also support sushi and sashimi.
2 bottles x Réva Barolo DOCG 2018 (Piedmont, Italy)
Red | Nebbiolo
The grapes for this Barolo come from carefully selected vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, Novello, Serralunga d'Alba and Grinzane Cavour. Fermented spontaneously on the skins for 35 days, it has been aged in oak barrels for 24 months. A limited series of only 4,500 bottles, this Barolo delivers aromas of sage, rose petals, red-skinned berry and a delicate hint of tobacco. The palate is full, deep and juicy, with peppery notes of Morello cherry and clove, and delicate tannins.
Pairing suggestion: enjoy this Barolo with beef, game and stews. Classic pairing with truffles! The ageing potential is 20 years.
