Description
The Venoge Princes Extra Brut Champagne NV is an elegant extra brut Champagne that is appreciated by many people due to its ripeness. The mousse in this wine is fine, the color is pale yellow. The nose is slightly aromatic, with notes of white fruit, white pepper and a light brioche note. The taste is fresh, with fine acidity in the attack, a pleasantly light taste in which the balance between freshness and ripeness is particularly striking. The dosage is 4 grams/liter, so wonderfully dry without being bone dry. The Venoge Princes comes in a beautiful traditional decanter and in a beautiful gift box.
