Aimery Crémant de Limoux AOC Rosé Brut / France        $18.99

Produced from a blend of 65% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc and 15% Pinot, our wine spent 18 months aging sur lie (on the lees of expired yeast). One first notices the mouth caressing mousse followed by biscuit / hazelnut aromas a result of that yeast exposure. The red fruit (cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate) emulates a savory baked fruit tart. Steeped in tradition, the name itself ‘Cuvée 1531’ pays homage to the monks of Saint-Hilaire, credited for beginning the sparkling wine tradition.
