Nº 8

Sparkling Brut
SKU: 1JC08FW312

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.

FOOD PAIRING: Flattering with almost EVERYTHING, but best for RAW & COLD FOODS, LOW-FAT FOODS & SPICY FOODS.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

A dazzling clear color. 

Aroma: 

the JCB N° 8 has an expressive and rich nose. The wine opens onto buttery notes before evolving towards aromas of delicate vanilla, oak and honey. 

Palate: 

The attack is clean, the structure crisp and bright. The finish is round and sustained, with notes of toast and fresh almond.
