Baron de Seillac Brut Rose

Writing as I smack my extremely happy lips, I ask who wouldn't love more Provencal sparkling wine in their lives? This rose is a great follow through to Baron de Seillac's Blanc de Blancs' 1-2 punch proving Laurent Breban makes top notch sparkling wine. 100% Grenache lends a fresh, floral fragrance and a dry palate replete with white cherries, a faint mandarin acidity, and a fine mousse. At 11.5% alcohol, this wine is a dreamy option as a ready aperitif, a delightful bruncheon wine, or a terrific vin de soif! Buy it by the case and keep one in the ice box at all times. Baron de Seillac is a shining example that shows sparkling wine should be a daily affair -adding joy and panache to each and every day.
