Soupçon de Graman - Crémant de Bordeaux

by Paige Donner

Harvested by hand this dry rosé, full of bubbles which exhibit finesse and fine acumen, makes a good showing for the rising star of Crémant de Bordeaux.

The vines are cultivated in Landerrouat, an appellation bordering on the Southwest of France that is authorized to make AOC Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur and Crémant de Bordeaux.

This is a Sunday afternoon wine to be consumed with friends enjoying a relaxing time together in a sunny living room or on a garden deck/terrace.  It's also the perfect wine to preface chicken on the bbq which could easily follow this when served as aperitif with some savory-sweet appetizers.

Cépages : Cabernet Sauvignon. Récoltés manuellement en cagettes  .
(Cabernet Sauvignon: Harvested by hand)
A déguster en apéritif et en dessert.
(To enjoy with hors d'oeuvres or with dessert)

Dégustation/ Tasting

Appearance: a beautiful salmon with light pink reflections. The bubbles, as noted, are fine and refined and leave your tastebuds following the vinous notes of the wine.

Nose: Raspberry freshness tempered with a bit of fruitier cherry. When this sparkling edges towards room temperature these notes mellow a bit and become a more generous confiture type profile.

Mouth: Freshness and a fair bit of acidity accents the presence of red (raspberry) fruit in the bottle.

Oeil : teinte parfaitement saumonée avec de legers reflets « pink ». Les bulles sont très fines tandis que la mousse abondante laisse s'épanouir un cordon tout autour du verre, signe de la parfaite élaboration du vin. 
Nez : très expressif et franc annonçant des notes de framboises et cerises fraîches tandis qu'il évolue vers des notes confiturés lorsque le vin se réchauffe. 
Bouche : c'est la fraicheur qui marque l'attaque avec une finale tout en finesse qui finit par révéler des arômes fruités et variés.
