This pink, semi-dry bubbly was made by spontaneous fermentation, otherwise known as methode ancestrale. This one is so delicious and fun to drink, with a distinctly, grapy aroma and a fruitiness that calls out for celebration and jubilation.
This pink bubbly is excellent as an aperitif and a perfect companion to dessert, especially chocolate cakes.
"Amber color. Aromas and flavors of cranberry juice, rose petal, cherry and kiwi, and red apple with a round, bright, effervescent, fruity medium-to-full body and a delightful, medium-long finish that shows nuances of cherry, cranberry, beeswax, and rose water. Concentrated fruit flavors, creamy bubbles, and well balanced acidity will make this a splendid pairing with charcuterie."

"Reddish amber color. Delicate, fruity, floral aromas and flavors of baked cherries, mulberries, and geranium with a supple, tart, effervescent, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, interesting, breezy cranberry compote, raspberries, chalk, and nutskin finish with fine, crunchy, fruit tannins. A crisp, refreshing French sparkler."
