2015 GERARD BERTRAND "CUVEE THOMAS JEFFERSON" CREMANT DE LIMOUX

2015 GERARD BERTRAND "CUVEE THOMAS JEFFERSON" CREMANT DE LIMOUX, FRANCE. A blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir and Mauzac.

Made from traditional varietals used in Cremant de Limoux, a historic French sparkling wine with a long tradition of production. The Chenin and Chardonnay grapes bring texture and balance, with the Chardonnay also providing the fine bubbles. The Chenin adds vivacity, and enhances the crémant’s impressive longevity. Complex, aromatic nose revealing hints of white flower, with hints of honey, green apple and toast. Crisp, elegant structure on the palate, where the fine texture of the bubbles complement the wine's full mousse. Perfect as an aperitif served at 10°C, or matched with goat’scheese and sweet desserts.

About: "Limoux is the area where sparkling wine originated. In 1531, the monks of Saint Hilaire discovered the first wine with bubbles. Situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, these vineyards benefit from the cool conditions required to make sparkling wines of quality. This exceptional quality had even founded an echo across the Atlantic : The White House. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson, was Limoux’ greatest admirer, and he discretely cultivated his love for France and for Limoux sparkling wine. Actually, wine from Limoux was was the only sparkling wine to be found in his personal cellar. (Winery)
