Varichon & Clerc Privilège Rosé Dry

Description

Savoy (also spelled Savoie and pronounced sav-wa) is a comparatively small department of about 5,000 acres. The majority of this area is located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in eastern France, but it is comprised of many smaller, isolated sub-plots scattered throughout the country. Varichon & Clerc is one of the oldest wine making houses in Savoy, their Maison being founded in 1901. Specializing in the Traditional Method, they can also boast an in-depth understanding of the region and their wine making process with almost 120 years experience. The result is exceptional wines that showcase the finest traits and merits of the region. Their logo represents their historical ties to Savoy and how they strive to represent it through their wines; the mountain signifying the freshness in their wines, the Edelweiss flower pointing to their pure and rare quality, and the chamois (the goat-antelope) signifying balance and elegance. Chill and serve between 8-10 C, and enjoy within the next year. This wine will cellar for a couple years easily in the proper conditions, but it is intended to be enjoyed young and fresh.

Pairing

This is a versatile wine that would do well with beef or lamb dishes, or even spicy foods and desserts. We love bubbles for their ability to adapt to dishes, give them more credit than just a glass to 'cheers' with!
