Crémant de Die, Cuvée Brut, Raspail Jean-Claude & Fils, Drôme, France

Fresh and lively with aromas of green apple, white peach and citrus blossom. Fine persistent bubbles lead to a crisp palate with hints of alpine herbs and a clean, chalky finish.

Crémant de Die represents the drier, traditional-method style of sparkling wine from the region, distinct from the sweeter Clairette de Die. Raspail has helped preserve the area’s historic sparkling wine tradition while combining traditional techniques with modern cellar practices.
