When selecting a beverage to accompany your meal, it’s essential to choose one that doesn’t overpower the taste of the food, but rather enhances its subtle flavours. LEX by Nemiroff is the perfect choice for maintaining balance, remaining pure in presentation and logically complementing delicate cuisine, which is why it is an appropriate subject for discussion here.

Sensory profile

LEX is created for moments when you want to taste, not just feel the strength. Its aroma is clean and rich at the same time. It opens easily, without sharpness, and gives a feeling of freshness. The texture is velvety on the palate, holding together evenly without breaking down into separate notes. It is followed by a long mineral aftertaste: cool, composed, without excessive sweetness. That is why the profile does not disappear alongside food, but delicately supports the dish.

• Aroma: floral notes, white grapes, fresh grass.
• Taste: yellow fruits, pink pepper, light bergamot.
• Finish: mineral notes, yuzu, mint.

These nuances are particularly evident in delicate cuisine.

Gastronomic logic

LEX by Nemiroff emphasises the delicacy of the dish and does not try to dominate it. The base is built on a combination of winter wheat and corn from Ukrainian black soil, and the pure structure is supported by artesian water from Podillia. It then undergoes 13 stages of filtration. Silver removes foreign tones, platinum adds smoothness, and amber gives depth and mineral accents. The process is completed by six months of resting, during which the drink develops its profile.

There are no complicated rules for serving LEX.

• Black caviar serves as a delicacy test here, emphasising the softness and making the sip even more velvety.
• Seafood pairs well with simple lemon and salt. Oysters and shrimp highlight the mineral character in the finish, while salmon adds a delicate fat that makes the drink sound even softer.
• It is better to choose aged cheese, but without a sharp smoky flavour. Such cheeses enhance the depth and do not overwhelm the bergamot.
• Meat delicacies work best when thinly sliced and with a minimum of spices. Prosciutto or carpaccio add a touch of sophistication to the combination, but do not overwhelm the pure aroma.

Serve LEX chilled without ice to preserve its aroma. Should a more temperate beverage be desired, one may wish to use a single, sizable ice cube, accompanied by a modicum of grapefruit zest. The texture will be preserved and the fruity notes enhanced.
