Jean vesselle Brut oeil de perdrix 20NV

This Champagne comes from France, built around Pinot Noir, and it's a non-vintage bottling. A quick word on the grape: Pinot Noir is a delicate, thin-skinned red grape famed for its silky texture and bright flavors of red cherry, raspberry and earthy, savory undertones. Champagne earns those fine, persistent bubbles the hard way, through a traditional second fermentation right in the bottle. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. Crack it open as a celebration starter — it loves shellfish, salty nibbles and fried bites. Serve it ice-cold.
