Rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries, and then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

This festive sparkling wine is vinified following the ancient tradition of one of the most gorgeous corners of France, where small hills grow into small mountains on the flanks of the Alps.

Clos La Roquète’s blanc is luscious, yet finishes nice and dry with striking acidity.
