Wine Review: This pale straw colored Sparkling Wine displays a steady bead of streaming tiny bubbles. It opens with a green grape and toasted almond bouquet with hints of lemon and warm bread. On the palate, this wine is full boded, slightly acidic and round. The flavor profile is a very woody and mineral blend with notes of truffle and green apple with a hint of peach tea. The finish is dry and shows nice length. The Panel suggested pairing this very nice sparkler with baked quail or baked scallops. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Fine tiny bubbles and a long-lasting mousse are the usual footprints of the L’Ermitage cuvee. Delicate aromas boast hazelnut, pastry and pear. Mouthfeel is very pure, focused freshness wrapped in yeast creaminess. Lemon curd and nutty characters play together to give a very European tasting experience.
