Vivacous lighter more refreshing wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, and also may be sweet or dry. However, all are on the brighter and tangier end of the flavor spectrum and will never feature oaky flavors.

Description

The year was 1939. Germany had just invaded Poland and France was rallying its troops to come to the aid of their ally. While this world of chaos was unraveling, a young couple had fallen in love. They married the day before he set out to serve his country, and although the wait was long and painful, she knew he would return safe one day, as she was an INTUITIVE soul. After three ADVENTUROUS years, he returned home to the loving and FAITHFUL arms of his wife and now three-year old daughter, who he was just now meeting for the first time. The couple are the grandparents of Jean-Charles Boisset.
