Champagne Haton et Filles — Solo de Meunier

Solo de Meunier

Champagne Haton et Filles | Blanc de Noirs

Sometimes the most down-to-earth dishes are the best. Yesterday the Bolognese simmered on the stove for hours – that aroma wafting through the entire house is simply unbeatable. The base for the sauce this time was a Cabernet dell'Emilia from Mattarelli: profound, with aromas of dark berries and a hint of chocolate. This kind of savory structure calls for a champagne in the glass that has real substance.

The choice fell on the Solo de Meunier from Haton et Filles. A pure Meunier from Damery that delivers exactly what the name promises: a solo performance with power. It brings notes of ripe apple and almost cinnamon-spiced compote that harmonize beautifully with the depth of the Cabernet in the sauce. It doesn't cut through the food, but embraces it. Anyone who says you always need red wine with pasta hasn't tried this Blanc de Noirs yet.

Tasting Notes

A powerful Blanc de Noirs with notes of ripe apple and cinnamon-spiced compote. Shows lots of substance and richness that embraces food rather than cutting through it.
