Pierre Sparr Cremant Brut Reserve NV – Back Cover
$18.95 | LCBO# 388603
Light yellow with green reflections and fine, glittering pearl beads. The nose offers aromas of Galia-melon, sweet woodruff and dried mango, with minerals and hints of nuts. The soft sparkling leaves a pleasant feeling on the palate, accompanied by a racy, powerful body and crispy, lemony acidity that brings freshness to this Crémant. With time in the glass, it opens further to a complex sparkling brut, finishing with a long aftertaste. 80% Pinot Blanc, 20% Pinot Auxerrois.
Food pairing: fine little canapés, fresh grilled shellfish, smoked fish. Desserts.
“For the record, a “cremant” (pronounced cray-mon) is a sparkling wine made the same way as French Champagne – by initiating a second fermentation in bottle rather than in large tanks. This method creates a more refined, nuanced wine, which is the case with this dry, Pinot Blanc based bubbly. Each glass exudes a gentle perfume of salted lemon zest before saturating the palate with dense but understated flavours of green mango, wet stones, olive brine and toast. Then it tapers to a long white grapefruit zest finish. Pour this lean, sophisticated tasting wine with mushroom quiche!” 92+ Pts – Carolyn Hammond, The Toronto Star, May 2018

Wakefield Estate Chardonnay 2019
$16.95 | LCBO# 711556
At release, the wine is a pale straw with a slight green hue to the edge. Delightful aromas of white peach, nectarines, tropical fruit and citrus zest with a hint of cashew. Fresh flavours of stone fruit combine with cashews and an underlying toastiness from the barrel fermentation to deliver a mouth-filling and enjoyable wine. The wine has a clean, elegant palate, a zesty acid backbone and long, persistent finish.
