Sparkling Wine - Blanc de Blancs
This is a méthode champenoise sparkling wine, meaning that it is made the same way as French Champagne, with a 2nd fermentation taking place in the bottle. It is made from 100% Chardonnay, a white grape, hence the name Blanc de Blancs, meaning a "white" wine from "white" grapes.
Though it is a white wine, the bubbles add a refreshingly fun sensation. The palate has the crisp acidity of a gala apple & a marzipan creaminess indicating time spent on the lees during the traditional 2nd fermentation.
Soft, nutty cheeses are an easy, delicious pairing, as is caviar & blini. Honestly, though, we just can't resist pairing sparkling wines with fried foods! Croquettes bring out the spiciness in this wine, while fried calamari play on the creamy notes of the Chardonnay.
