Nº 13
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.

WinemakingAppearance:Light salmon-pink robe with nice and bright highlights.
Aroma:The mousse is dense, and the ring of bubbles is deep and persistent.
Palate:Elegant and complex nose: delicate floral notes, such as roses, iris and orange flowers, evolve towards deeper and more creamy flavors. The palate is crispy at first, and then shows pleasant cherry and raspberry savours. This Grand Crémant de Bourgogne perfectly balances freshness and a round and long finish.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:According to AOC regulations, The grapes were picked by hand and placed in perforated cases. A small percentage (5%) of the wine was aged in 3- 4 year-old barrels for 6 months. After the “prise de mousse” , the bottles underwent 24 months ageing “sur lattes” to refine the wine and help intensify the aromas of this fine Bourgogne Rosé.
