NV | Schramsberg J Schram 'Noirs' Brut | California Cotes de Toul Pradeaux's 2020 Bandol Rosé Vespree

Pradeaux's 2020 Bandol Rosé Vespree is a special effort

and a balanced and harmonious palate with vibrant acidity and bright flavors

this wine was bottled in the traditional tall green bottle with the incredibly fresh and zippy acidity that is complemented by as slight effervescence that is common in this Basque region white wine

The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon

gingery spice and dusty dried flowers

NV | Schramsberg J Schram 'Noirs' Brut | California Cotes de Toul Pradeaux's 2020 Bandol Rosé VespreeThis wine is luscious, with aromas of raspberry spritz, orange zest, Meyer lemon cream and winter mint. The midpalate is creamy, with a medium mousse and tiny bubbles. Flavors suggest pomegranate, blood orange, pink grapefruit, Pink Lady apple and buttery brioche, with Himalayan salt on the finish. At this point, we are reaching for more with a meal or not.
