Baron Albert, Champagne Blanc de Blancs fûts de chêne La Pimpante NV Tuscany with an almost incomparable fragranceA pure Chardonnay champagne from the Baron Albert estate in the Marne, La Pimpante is entirely vinified and aged in oak barrels for a complex, smoky richness on the nose and the palate. This is a fine dining wine par excellence, lively and versatile, with the character and depth to make it a partner for savoury dishes from risotto and foie gras to game and blue cheeses.
