ALBERT BICHOT CREMANT DE BOURGOGNE BRUT ROSE NV, Burgundy

The celebrated Albert Bichot winery's Cremant de Bourgogne is created with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes. A sensual warm pink hue owns a nose of raspberry, blackberry and citrus renewed by a delicate bubble stream uplifting the scents. The vibrant, fresh and concentrated palate confirms the nose. The finish lingers, but never overstays its welcome. Sensible pairings will include shrimp cocktail (easy on the horseradish!) or herbed goat cheese on sea salt-kissed crackers. Adventurous pairings could include a sesame tuna poke bowl or prosciutto-wrapped dates.
