This Advent Calendar from Maison De Venoge is a superb gift for Champagne lovers and collectors/placomusophiles.
This white and gold box features the emblematic Cuvée des Princes Blanc de Blancs in box 25, with 24 different lugs linked to key moments in the House's history, hidden away in the box like a journey through time. Enough to keep you waiting until the festive season.
The De Venoge capsules are accompanied by an explanatory booklet, and each one corresponds to a year in the history of the House.
Cuvée Blanc de Blancs de la Maison de Venoge is a sumptuous nectar made exclusively from Chardonnay from Premiers and Grands Crus (Mesnil sur Oger, Trépail). With its great freshness, it's the perfect accompaniment to an aperitif or a light starter.
Its elegant, carafe-shaped appearance alludes to the crystal bottles used by 20th-century aristocracy for decanting.
Pale gold in color, with subtle green reflections and fine, creamy bubbles.
The first nose is very pleasant, with notes of white flowers and citrus fruit. This superb freshness is enhanced by an elegant minerality.
The attack on the palate is frank and bursting with freshness. The same fruity, floral fragrances are superimposed on notes of candied peach, characteristic of Chardonnay.
This exceptional cuvée has a lovely tension that heralds good ageing potential.
