Pinot Noir, Burgundy, France

Swan-dive into a different type of luxury. We love an underdog. Originally, Bruno Dangin’s land was firmly in the esteemed and coveted Champagne appellation, but after a change in boundary lines following World War I, now sits just south of Aube, despite having the same limestone soils, climate and aspect. While some growers would be despondent, dropping quality after losing membership to the world’s most prestigious club, the Dangin family continued the same, exacting farming and careful winemaking. The result is the most delicious Cremant de Bourgogne we’ve had, full stop, which blows past many of its Champagne siblings and sits atop the list of the world’s top restaurants. Making its debut in Ontario, this bottling is exclusively certified, organic pinot noir. Delicate and mouth filling bubbles that say ‘I belong’ with pronounced white cherry and orange blossom aromatics, backed by honeyed elderflower, fleshy apricot, toasty brioche & salty minerality. Pair with taking a deep sigh and realizing you haven't started any of your holiday shopping
