ERNEST RAPENEAU "Vintage" 2016 - Champagne - France

Vintage: 2016

CH30

12 in stock

Intense golden colour. Fine string of bubbles. Thanks to a wine with 10 years of age. Elegant and rich bouquet. Complex, ripe fruit nose (figs and apricots) with hints of confectionery aromas (brioche, cocoa beans, vanilla). Structured and still fresh on the palate. Nuts and candied fruit flavours, with a very long and pleasant finish. Once opened for a while, complex tertiary aromas are evolving in the glass. With notes of Tobacco, warm brioche and whipped cream. A surprising and complex Champagne wine for Vintage lover, thanks to chardonnay grapes with slighlty lower acidity than usual.

How to pair it

Chef's suggestion: foie Gras on toast and jam candied figs. Or fresh scallops with Balsamic reduction lightly pan-fried.
