The family were official printers to Louis XV’s Royal Court, evidenced by their wildly extravagant labels \u0026amp; decadent style of Champagne, the sort of wine that warrants the formalities but is ultimately totally cool \u0026amp; would rather be wearing sneakers under their crinoline. Brilliant and evocative, this is an entire feast in a glass: a dollop of whipped cream on poached strawberries, Campino strawberry yogurt candies, buttery raspberry croissants \u0026amp; fresh lemon zest with rosy, cherry blossom florals and a crunchy, chalky mineral character. Dust off that three-tiered cake stand, pile it high with macarons \u0026amp; drink this for a decadent experience befitting of your royal self. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"André Clouet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41372355264690,"sku":"WINE-CLOUET-ROSE-CHAMPAGNE","price":155.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/7396\/2930\/products\/GW_BOTTLES_35.jpg?v=1739646640"},{"product_id":"bereche-et-fils-brut-reserve","title":"'Brut Reserve'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-reactroot=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Grande Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn organic \u0026amp; frisky bubble, lallygagging its way to the hoedown of the century.

Jean-François Clouet lives above these historic chalk-lined cellars (dating back to 1741!) which still have the fake walls they used to hide their precious product from the Nazis in World War II. Made in a blanc de noir style aka a white wine from red grapes, this delicate but powerfully evocative sparkler is sumptuous and perfect – ripe yellow orchard fruit, a spritz of lemon citrus \u0026amp; butter shortbread with a hint of honeysuckle and white macadamia.

Timothée Stroebel works in the northern premier cru village of Villes Allerand, cultivating the vines his grandfather planted in the 1960s and turning them into some of the most exciting Champagnes and Coteaux Champenois the world has ever known. FUN FACT! Working his soils with the horses Bijou and Quina and a trusty plough, Timothée also employs natural mildew preventatives, such as microbe-enriched water, orange oil and compost teas to protect the vines without destabilizing the ecosystem! The ‘Héraclite’ pinot noir comes from two parcels, the first called “Montreval”, with silty-sandy soils (great for heightened aromatics) and full southern exposure, the second on deep clay (good for slow ripening, and promoting richer, fuller-bodied wines) facing north and called “Les Cumines”. The grapes were direct pressed and aged for three years on the lees winding their way round each other and emerging as this contemplative, coy and calculated cuvée. FUN FACT #2! Heraclitus was an ancient Greek philosopher known for his ideas on constant change, the unity of opposites and the humdinger we still say today, \"No man ever steps in the same river twice” – sounds like he was talking about winemaking to us! \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003eElderflower and hay harvesting, blueberry parfait, rosehips, white chocolate, pile of rocks, hazelnut praline, white pepper, overgrown ground cover, a cream puff weight \u0026amp; a chalky texture\u003c\/span\u003e.
