Domaine des Herbauges, Brut "Luminescence," Loire Valley, France, NV
{sustainable} 40% Melon de Bourgogne, 40% Grolleau Gris, 20% Chardonnay
BRIOCHE, WHITE FLOWERS & CLEMENTINE. LUXURIOUS
This richly textured and aromatic sparkling from Domaine des Herbauges is made in the Champagne style and echoes that world-famous beverage in terms of its plushness and yeasty aromas. A blend of typical Loire Valley white grapes, it retains their focused, transparent flavors while also displaying subtle floral notes and telltale biscuity notes from the 36 months it spends aging on the lees.
Serving Suggestion: Caviar w/ all the fixings. Opulent brunch foods like Eggs Benedict, French-style omelets w/ smoked salmon, or a spinach and feta egg bake.
