Winemaker Notes
Numerous and fine bubbles, beautiful bright and vivid Rosé color. Demi-Sec finish. On the nose the wine releases fruity scents, with forward raspberry aromas. Well-balanced and fresh, this beautiful Rosé shows on the palate the same flavors as the nose does. Some acidulous notes on the finish gives it a pleasant freshness. Serve as an aperitif or to accompany your desserts.
Appreciated worldwide as an iconic token of celebration and luxury, sparkling wines from France come in more forms than just Champagne. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from the northeastern region of France—called Champagne—and adhere to strict quality standards. Champagne’s chalky, limestone and soils and cold, continental climate create grapes with ample acidity and concentration. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier are permitted for use in Champagne.
French sparkling wines made outside of Champagne take the name Crémant. Crémant de Bourgogne, Alsace, Loire and Limoux are the best known. These are made using the same technique as that of Champagne, called méthode traditionelle, but typically are composed of the regional grape variety. Usually dry to off-dry with bright acidity, these are often characterized by qualities of lemon, peach, marzipan and white flowers.
