This lovely organic red, a blend of typical southern France varieties (Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache) is bursting with ripe flavors. Deeply coloured, the nose displays lots of field berries with smoky and spicy hints. Quite rich and round, it remains balanced with soft acidity and a lingering bitterness. Try with Italian sausage pizza.

Entirely from Chardonnay, this lovely Champagne has less sugar added than most Champagnes available at SAQ. A great combination of Chardonnay’s finesse with lively acidity (not masked by too much sugar added), creates a great palate cleanser! Some evolution : toasted bread and apple. For the fan of lively/nervy Champagne!
