The color is a brilliantly shiny salmon rose. The mouth-feel is beautiful, filled with a deliciously fine mousse (tiny bubbles) and wonderful fruit notes of fine ripe pears, some quince, and rose petals. There is also a classic brioche and elegant creamy yeast with fine toasty hints. It has a superb structure with great concentration. Great fruit is well integrated and balanced by vibrant acidity, fine tannins and characteristic minerality with a dry finish. This is a stunning sparkling wine with a long satisfying finish. This sparkling wine will have great longevity and is the ideal partner to food. Noblesse Oblige pairs well with caviar, oysters and any other fresh shellfish. It refreshes the palate between bites of buttery or creamy dishes, and meets the richness of smoked salmon and robust cheeses. It also pairs remarkably well with meaty main course staples and, of course, makes a lovely toast!
