Viniou Reviews
The Deheurles Daniel & Filles Cuvée Black Pearl is a non-vintage brut Champagne from the iconic Champagne region of France. Known for its effervescent wines, Champagne boasts a unique blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, though precise details of the blend are typically kept secret. The region's chalky soils and cool climate contribute to the wine's distinct minerality and crisp acidity. The Deheurles estate has a rich history of crafting premium champagnes, passing down techniques through generations that highlight the finesse and elegance of their wines.
For pairing, this brut Champagne harmonizes beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its crispness and fine bubbles make it a delightful companion to seafood, particularly oysters or smoked salmon. It also pairs well with soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. For a regional twist, consider pairing it with gougères or a delicate pâté en croûte, enhancing the wine's vivacity and delicate flavours.
When serving the Cuvée Black Pearl, aim for a chilled temperature of around 8-10°C. It's best enjoyed without decanting to preserve its bubbles and aromas. Begin by admiring its pale golden hue and fine persistent bubbles. On the nose, expect aromas of green apple, citrus, and a hint of brioche. On the palate, savour the balance of acidity and fruit, ending with a crisp, refreshing finish.
