G.H.Mumm Champagne
A clear and bright golden yellow in colour, its abundant, delicate bubbles testify to this champagne’s elegance and vigour. The nose reveals initial aromas of ripe fresh fruit (white and yellow peaches, apricots), tropical notes (lychee or pineapple) which then opens up with the fragrance of vanilla before developing notes of milky caramel, breadcrumbs and yeast, culminating in aromas of dried fruit and honey. This one is the perfect match for white meat and fish such as monkfish or red mullet, and is also an ideal complement to the creamy flavours of foie gras.
