Brut Rosé Crémant

An expressive nose of strawberry, cherry, pear, and even peach, nuanced by a whole bakery of yeast notes and a chalky minerality. Dry and easy drinking, this wine also holds onto its bubbles for an almost ridiculous length of time. Pair with foie gras in terrine, scallops, lobster, truffled poultry, or chaource cheese. A special occasion wine at a week-night price.
