Val de Mer Brut Nature Rosé French Sparkling NV

Vintage: NV

ABV: 12.5% 

Region:  Chablis

Country:  France 

Varietals:  100% Pinot Noir

Pairing Ideas: Anything, it sounds like a lazy answer but it's the truth.  This wine is amazing and foolproof.  

This is a firm and lively rosé sparkler, with bright cherries and lots of pink grapefruit acidity. Crisp and lip-smacking.

Fun Facts: Val de Mer is Patrick Piuze’s second winery, co-owned with Moutard-Diligent. The winemaking is very similar to his own, eponymous (and extremely well-regarded) line: both are hand-harvested, both are spontaneously fermented, and the élèvage is the same.  

100% Pinot Noir fruit from the town of Tonnerre, located 10 miles from Chablis. The grapes are hand-harvested. After a short maceration on the skins for color, the juice is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks before undergoing secondary fermentation. The wine is aged for 9 months on the lees before it is disgorged. No dosage is added.
