Gerard Bertrand Thomas Jefferson Brut Rosé 2017

Many French historians believe that the Limoux region in the south invented sparkling wine (before the Champagne region did so in the north). In 1531, the monks of Saint Hilaire created sparkling wine in the foothills of the Pyrenees from cool climate vineyards. The exceptional quality found its way to the other side of the Atlantic : Thomas Jefferson, was the greatest admirer of Limoux and cultivated his love of France and Crémant de Limoux. Made of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, this is fresh, dry, crisp and refined.             

Crémant Thomas Jefferson Rosé boasts a beautiful, salmon-pink color with glimmering reflections. Delicate bubbles and an extraordinary vivacity on the palate, with a rich, indulgent texture. A complex bouquet with long- lasting aromas of red fruit (strawberry and raspberry), backed with hints of toasted bread. Perfect served as an aperitif at 50°F, accompanying delicately smoked fish, both savory and sweet or spicy dishes, or even with red fruit desserts.
