This elegant, traditional-method sparkling has dried apricot and lemon curd on the palate. Great for the heat, whether that's in the summer sun or by a fireplace.
Blend of Gamay and the Swiss grape Gamaret which sturdies the structure and brings more brooding dark fruit and savoury spice. The grapes were de-stemmed and relies only on the skin for a light tannin making it easy to drink on it's own. The sixth and best vintage for this wine so far.
A peculiar blend of 3 red and 3 white grapes including a new hybrid 'Piwi' grape named floreal bred in 2018 by crossing European Vitis vinifera grape varieties with wild Asian and American vines. Bedded with strong floral, spice, and all-colored fruit flavours. It's unusual set of grapes make it stand out from other more typical blends.
Mostly Chardonnay, with the remaining 5% split between Muscadet, Riesling, Savagnin, and Ehrenfelser, this cuvee is a nod to the farmers, interred in the eponymous cemetery nearby, who first tilled the soil on which these grapes are grown. Solemn, but not intolerably so.
This Ambre du Quebec - a blend of fresh apple juice and oak-aged apple brandy - is produced solera-style, for greater complexity. Similar to the Pommeau of Normandy and Brittany. Pair with lightly funky, good hard cheese!
As the name ("fougue" translates as 'ardor') indicates, this is a wine with impact, with cherry florality on the nose and notes of stonefruit and lemon curd on the palate, and an almond-y finish. Like some passions, this one needs time: open a day in advance for its full expression.
