Champagne Boutillez Marchand
Color: luminous gold hue. Nose: delicate hints of acacia, honey, and flint powder, opening to yellow fruit. Palate: saline and honeyed resonance, with white floral notes (jasmine) and a touch of ginger. Pairing: sea bream ceviche with shiso and Granny Smith apple. Comment: an appetizing champagne that remains fluid and digestible, with just enough zest for an aperitif.
