Description
Wine Gift Set Includes:
- Le Grand Courtage Blanc de Blancs Brut:
The perfect 'celebratory' wine, the palate is a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity & sweetness. With lemon, honeydew, and apple flavors that seemingly never end, this fresh bubbly is a versatile accompaniment to any cuisine or cocktail. Try this wine with savory hors d'oeuvers, buttered popcorn, seafood, creamy pasta dishes, fried chicken, spicy Asian cuisine, fruit based desserts, or semi-soft cheeses.
The Blend: Chardonnay imparts depth and complexity for the overall balance while Chenin Blanc lends citrus and hints of honey for a creamy texture. Colombard's higher acidity provides structure, length and a pleasant minerality that is supplemented by the Ugni Blanc's fruit profile. - Le Grand Courtage Rose Brut:
A deliciously seductive rose, just a sip of this fruity, and balanced bubbly will leave you wanting more! Aromas of young strawberry, raspberry and notes of lilac and violets lead into a palate packed full of fresh and fruity flavors. Pair this beauty with spicy Asian dishes, risotto, BBQ, beef, lamb, duck, game, chicken, prosciutto, seafood, pizza or soft cheese (like brie or goat).
The Blend: The light bodied Gamay provides vibrant youthful fruit expressions reminiscent of wild berries and flowers amongst the French countryside on a warm summer day. The Chardonnay provides a depth and structure to the wine, while the Ugni Blanc offers a natural acidity and freshness.Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.

The name, meaning 'the great courtship', represents French and Americans working together and the blending of grapes from different terroirs. Tawnya sought to re-envision French sparkling by using unique varietals and progressive blending techniques to create a style and profile which are both cuisine and cocktail friendly.
