Champagne Jacquart Blanc De Blancs
75cl
/
12% Vol
An elegant, fresh, and fragant champange from Champagne Jacquart! Aromas here are gloriously deep with rich honey, grapefruit, and toasted almonds. The palate is equally as stunning with notes of bramley apple fruit, then complex toasty nuttiness on the finish. Should pair fantastically with salmon and asparagus, spring rolls, and gambas.

Taste
Focused and clean then becomes more powerful, offering up a fusion of tension and minerality. Pure aromatics with clear lemon zest. Substantial length supported by a fine, dense chalky structure.
Nose
Fresh and delicate, refined flowers (acacia, honeysuckle) with refreshing menthol notes. Chalk and citrus fruits (lemon) emerge on the second nose.

FAQs
Dark chocolate pairs best with wines that have the structural intensity to match its bitter cocoa and tannin character without being overwhelmed. Fortified wines are the strongest match: aged Tawny Port with its dried fig, rancio, and roasted nut character is the classic pairing. Banyuls from the Roussillon, a naturally sweet Grenache based wine, is the benchmark French equivalent. A full bodied, fruit forward red such as Zinfandel or Amarone can also work, where the ripe dark fruit and spice complement the chocolate.
Many wines use animal derived fining agents during production to clarify and stabilise the liquid before bottling. Common fining agents include isinglass (derived from fish swim bladders), gelatine (bovine or porcine), casein (milk protein), and egg whites (albumin). These are added to bind suspended particles and removed before bottling, but trace quantities may remain. Vegan wines use alternatives including bentonite clay, activated carbon, or pea protein. Checking the Barnivore database or looking for a vegan certification on the label is the most reliable approach.
