Art'Terre 2020
Thomas Perseval | Brut Nature | Vintage 2020
After I recently had an amazing Hamshuka at a restaurant – unfortunately they didn't have champagne there – today at home it was: Hamshuka and spicy eggplant-tomato salad.
For this I opened the Art'Terre 2020 from Thomas Perseval, which I received yesterday in the champagne package.
A wine that already brings a lot of personality – and today it definitively showed how amazing champagne can work as a food pairing.
The homemade hummus (fluffy, creamy, just as it should be) and the fine mousse of the champagne – that was already a match in itself. And then these slightly oxidative notes of the Art'Terre: warm, spicy, a bit wild – exactly the point where everything came together perfectly.
With the roasted aromas of the eggplant, the lime, the tomato paste and the spices (Baharat, chili, ginger) it completely came alive. Nothing overpowered anything else, everything meshed together.
Food and champagne were equally complex – but compatibly complex.
The Art'Terre is one of those champagnes that doesn't accompany food, but enhances it.
Tasting Notes
A champagne with lots of personality and slightly oxidative notes – warm, spicy and a bit wild. The fine mousse harmonizes perfectly with complex dishes.
