Tasting Notes:

Charles Ellner Cuvée Devant Brut NV is a masterful expression of traditional Champagne craftsmanship. The bouquet unveils enticing aromas of green apple, zesty citrus, and delicate floral notes, underscored by hints of brioche and toasted almonds, a result of extended aging on the lees. On the palate, fine, persistent bubbles carry vibrant flavors of crisp pear, lemon zest, and a subtle honeyed richness. The finish is long and refreshing, with a distinctive minerality that leaves a memorable impression.

Food Pairings:

• Seafood: Lobster tartare or oysters enhance the wine’s lively acidity and minerality.
• Casual Pairing: A classic BLT sandwich, where its effervescence balances the richness of bacon and freshness of tomato.
• Cheese: Pairs elegantly with nutty Gruyère or aged Comté.
• Dessert: Strawberry pavlova accentuates the wine’s fruity and creamy elements.

Serving Recommendations:

• Serve well-chilled at 45°F (7°C).
• Use a flute or tulip glass to enhance the aromatic complexity and maintain the vibrant effervescence.
