Guillemot-Michel NV Vin de France Le Feu et La Glace (Arrives 6/18)
Our friends at Guillemot-Michel lost most of their 2021 harvest to frost, but they were able to make this rather vivacious sparkling wine - "Le Feu et La Glace" (Fire and Ice). The wine shows a lovely bright pink color and fresh aromas of cherry and raspberry fruit, blood orange and spice. The palate is fresh and bright with a firm bead an sappy red currant and cherry fruit over the refreshing acidity. Quite delicious and perfect for a party, especially with charcuterie and cheeses. "Light scents of ripe strawberry and a hint of rose water come through with time, very discreet in style. The palate is nicely balanced with a little more roundness than expected, offering brisk acidity and a pure red cherry, bready finish. Fine." (Neal Martin in Vinous)
