🏰 【Aubry's Ivoire et Ebene Brut Premier Cru 2014 captures the best of the Aubry style, rich and effusive in feel with notable depth, showcasing a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Pinot Noir.】 This Premier Cru Champagne, disgorged in February 2021, hails from the village of Jouy-les-Reims in the Montagne de Reims, where Aubry is known for its dedication to tradition and preserving ancient grape varieties. Expect hints of honey, juicy apricot and melon fruit, woven with notes of whole grain toast, smoky mineral, and preserved lemon, creating a well-knit, satiny Champagne with a fresh and focused, lightly spiced finish. The weight and richness of the Pinot varieties come through, offering red plum, cinnamon, licorice, and chamomile on a creamy finish. Further notes include almond croissant, grapefruit, yellow apple, lanolin, ginger, and chalk. 🍴 This versatile Champagne is an excellent choice for aperitifs, but its depth allows it to pair beautifully with food. Consider antipasti, charcuterie, shellfish (especially pan-seared diver scallops), fish with creamy herb sauces, and stewed white meats with seasonal vegetables. 🥂 Ideal for celebrations, elegant receptions, or as a sophisticated aperitif. Its complexity and rich texture also make it suitable for pairing with gourmet appetizers and lighter main courses, ensuring memorable moments.
