Virginie T. Special Macaron Millésimé Extra Dry

A Champagne that balances between sweetness and freshness: The Virginie T. Special Macaron Millésimé Extra Dry does not bear its name by chance — the Extra-Dry dosage brings a velvety roundness that is reminiscent of the sugar play of a macaron, without losing the characteristic liveliness of Champagne.

Behind the house of Virginie T. is an independent winemaker from Champagne who focuses on varietal expressiveness. This Millésimé is based on Pinot Noir — the great red grape variety of the region, which gives the wine body, structure, and dark fruit aromas. As a vintage Champagne, it reflects the peculiarities of a single harvest instead of disappearing into a blend.

In the glass, it shows aromas of red currant and white peach, underscored by a floral note and a mineral base tone. The perlage is fine and persistent, the mouthfeel creamy with noticeable but not dominant sweetness. The finish remains fresh — the acidity of the Champagne keeps the dosage in balance.

Best served at 8–10 °C — as an aperitif with salmon tartare, with desserts featuring berries, or indeed with a macaron with raspberry or rose filling.
