Barton and Guestier Cremant (750ml - 11.5%)

From Barton & Guestier, this Crémant de Bordeaux is a sparkling French wine made in the traditional method and bottled at 11.5% ABV. A blend of 63% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot and 10% Sémillon, it is hand-picked, undergoes pre-fermentation maceration and low-temperature alcoholic fermentation at 18C, then a second fermentation in bottle followed by 12 months of ageing.

Fine, delicate bubbles and a persistent mousse give it an elegant character. The nose shows white stone fruits and citrus with subtle brioche and vanilla, while the palate is intense and well balanced, combining freshness and smoothness with a long finish. It works particularly well as an aperitif or alongside fruit- or chocolate-based desserts.
