Profile & Story
La Caravelle is the Champagne label of Rita and Andre Jammet, former owners of the celebrated Manhattan French restaurant La Caravelle (closed 2004), continuing the restaurant's house-Champagne tradition. Cuvee Nina is a non-vintage Brut blend of 36% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Noir and 35% Pinot Meunier, aged three years on the lees, with reserve wines kept in a solera.
Tasting Notes
Lively gold color with a fine, generous mousse; nose of dried tropical fruit, pear, subtle brioche and apricot pit; palate of white peach, pear and gingerbread spice.
Pairing Recommendation
Finely balanced enough to be enjoyed throughout a whole meal.
