“I only drink champagne twice: when I’m in love and when I’m not,” Coco Chanel.
Few people know how to appreciate the taste of a good champagne and even less those who acknowledge being faithful consumers of this drink. Although, when it comes to a good product, it is impossible to resist.
The latter comes from the hand of La maison Luvienz who has achieved the unimaginable. He has launched a new champagne, but not one more, but this one is flavored with caviar. Sweet bubbles that come together to create the best of the melodies.
The combination of these two flavors has been possible thanks to Luvienz’s savoir-faire, which has broken all the schemes and sublimated the flavor with style. To achieve this culinary feat, Guillaume Laborie and Leey Pennaneach, founding partners of Luvienz, have developed an unprecedented process to date, which has allowed them to make a champagne by caviar, through a very complicated assembly. A hard work process that has given a good result.
Freshness, intensity, sweetness, elegance, power … The champagne in caviar is so subtle that the attraction will be irresistible. Wrapped in an elegant black couture suit and with an iodized touch of the Osciètre caviar, it has been possible to create a perfect composition for the palate.
Luvienz champagne with caviar is now available, although it was previously served in private events. Now, this elite drink can be purchased directly through the brand’s website, although its price is explained in limited editions and shipping costs. A risky and unusual combination, but in a short time it will become a product of excellence.
