Tasting note
The Grande Cuvée de Beauté Charles VII is characterised by its golden yellow appearance and extremely fine mousse. On the nose, pronounced aromas of summer fruits and preserved fruits combine with spicy notes, while on the palate, the Champagne’s maturity and extremely powerful character are revealed. This is a serious food wine, that can be appreciated throughout a gourmet meal, and particularly with rare meats and river fish.
