The challenges, trials and tribulations and yes occasional joys, of 2016 are almost at an end. Time to treat you and your loved ones to something really special. Kick back, relax and expand your taste buds to absorb the unique combination of flavors created by the combination of Champagne Taittinger and Calvisius Caviar.
The unctuous flavor combination of champagne and caviar is unparalleled, particularly when both are of such extremely high quality and compatibility.
Here are some combinations that will take you to the brink of ecstasy:
Champagne Taittinger Brut La Francaise NV-$59.99
Calvisius Caviar Tradition Prestige 28 grams, $74.99
Brut La Francaise is a kaleidoscope of flavors from bright orchard fruit of pears, white peaches and a hint of tangerine and white flowers to a touch of light toasty brioche and nutmeg. There's a touch of white stones and and chalky minerals that make it a perfect foil of Calvisius Caviar Tradition Prestige. Made from White Pacific Sturgeon, this caviar has a taste that is both delicate and elegant, making it a perfect match to the champagne. The taste is slightly nutty with a medium firm texture. There's a buttery creaminess about it that lingers perfectly in the mouth with the flavor and texture of the champagne. With hints of sea foam, it has a long clean finish, which makes for a satisfying and lingering taste experience.
Champagne Taittinger Prelude Grands Crus NV $94.99
Calvisius Caviar Oscietra Classic 28 grams, $119.99
Oscietra Classic is also known as Russian Sturgeon, the same as the ancient species from the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, that are the bedrocks of fine caviar. There's nothing to compare to the taste and texture; firm with a rich nutty and creamy delicate flavor, with a hint of the sea, it melds perfectly with the hints of stone fruit and doughy brioche aromas that makes Taittinger Prelude and experience like that of Dancing with the Stars!
Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2006 $198.99
Calvisius Caviar Siberian 28 grams, $69.99
This is truly the symbiotic melding of two classics; the Blanc de
Blancs has an acidity that cuts through the richness of the Siberian Caviar, thus creating a flavor sensation. The champagne is brilliant with the tingle of Chardonnay, which goes right to the heart of the mouth filling creaminess of the caviar pearls. As they roll across the tongue, the ethereal complexity of the nature champagne cuts through the saltiness and sea breeze of the caviar to create an harmonious blend of flavors. This is, by far, the most rewarding of the all of the flavor combinations.
Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose 2006 $261.99
Calvisiu Caviar Oscietra Royal 28 grams, $139.99
Here, we have reached the pinnacle of flavor, with the combination of gleaming red fruit; think ripe strawberries, raspberries and notes of caramelized honey or light brown sugar that literally blanket the mouth in richm lingering flavors. Combine this with the special flavor and firm texture of the dark brown caviar with flecks of golden amber and a velvety texture, and you have the makings of a true classic. It doesn't get much better than this at any price. Flavors of ripe Bosque pears, hazelnut and creamy Irish Gold butter combine with a bright, refreshing finish to make this an experience of pure luxury. What a perfect way to top off the Holiday experience and ring in a bright and shiny New Year!
