Brut Rosé Crémant

J.L. Denois

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.

Country:  France

Region:  Limoux, Languedoc

Fermentation:  Direct pressed Pinot Noir juice coloured by the addition of a small amount of saignée juice from the Pinot Noir still wine cuvée after two days maceration.
