Tasting Note

This sparkling wine pours a lovely golden yellow with a hint of citrusy color and lively, fine bubbles. The intense aroma brings out peach, mirabelle plum, dried fruit, grapefruit, and acacia flower. With age, youll notice hints of apricot, vanilla, and butter. On the palate, it’s beautifully balanced with a fresh, full-bodied taste and a nice structure. Overall, it’s a charming Crmant de Bourgogne with delightful bubbles that make it hard to resist.

Try this with canaps at your next gathering.

Kate Says

“You cant beat an old classic, it looks a bit old fashioned but the juice inside is just delicious. Its great bubbles, its champagne style for a fraction of the cost. Creamy, toasty & peppery notes. Its just delicious – go for it!”
