De Venoge champagne, Blanc de Noirs

Almost Christmas and what better way to relax and enjoy a good meal than to open a bottle of champagne. The food of today was hamburger made of boar and cow meat. Maybe not the normal food for champagne, but interesting to see how it would fit together.

The champagne of today was a bottle of De Venoge, Blanc de Noirs. The Champagne House de Venoge has been producing champagne for over 160 years. And a Blanc de Noirs is a champagne made with only with the grapes Pinot meunier and Pinot noir.

The champgne had a very nice taste. Some fruits, a bit apple like and then a very long aftertaste that lingered in the mouth. It was a taste of summer berries, very nice.

The interesting thing was that the champagne worked very well together with the hamburgers. When checking the label after the meal it said that this champagne was served with game or duck liver dishes.

God jul!
