Champagne Gallimard Père et Fils Cuvée Amphoressence Brut Nature is a limited production Champagne, with 2,500 bottles made. It is composed of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay from a single harvest. The wine is aged for five months in Tuscan terracotta amphorae, followed by a minimum of 48 months on lees. The Champagne shows a golden color with clarity and fine bubbles. Aromas include citrus, grapefruit, white fruit, pear, and light buttered notes with brioche. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with saline minerality and a clean finish featuring exotic fruits like mango. Cuvée Amphoressence pairs well with sea bream, scallops tartare with citrus, salmon carpaccio, and oysters.
