Épisode 21 – Tour d'Horizon 2019
Champagne Faivre | Extra Brut | Vintage 2019
The Champagne Faivre – Épisode 21 – Tour d'Horizon pairs beautifully with a classic Chicken Tikka Masala with basmati rice and creamy raita.
Lots of flavor, lots of warmth, but not overwhelming. I'm already familiar with two other cuvées from Faivre – and I have this confident feeling: This bottle is perfect for Indian food. And that's exactly how it turns out.
An exciting blend made exclusively from reserve wines from 2019 and 2020. 20% of it aged in wood, the rest in enamel tanks – and with malolactic fermentation completed. Dosage: 0.5 g/l – so a true Extra Brut.
Tasting Notes
Fine, spicy champagne with cool minerality and precision. Dry, clear and characterful with enough backbone for aromatic dishes.
Gestern gab es ein klassisches Chicken Tikka Masala mit Basmatireis und cremigem Raita. Viel Geschmack, viel Wärme, aber keine Überforderung.…
