The 2018 Jacques Lassaigne 'Grain de Beaute' Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature presents a complex sensory experience. On the nose, it offers an array of aromas, including ripe green fruit, yellow apples, bruised apple, white peach, apricot, nectarine, and lemon peel, all underpinned by soft minerality, chalk notes, and a gentle hint of autolysis. The palate is characterized by vibrant, crisp citrus and melon flavors, supported by an underlying mineral structure and bright acidity, leading to a long finish. A supple and silky texture adds to the experience, with notes of honey, saline, green apple, unripe pear, and brioche also discernible. This Champagne is versatile with food, pairing wonderfully with shellfish, crab, lobster, pork, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. It is also delightful on its own.
