2020 Chateau de Mauny Cremant de Loire Brut

From: Loire, France Varietal: 80% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay Taste: Beautiful light yellow color. Notes of yellow fruit (like peach and fresh pear and apple) highlighted by lemon zest, dry honey, and quince (think of the quince paste you can pick up from the cheesemonger) transfer seamlessly from the aroma to the palate. Light toastiness accompanies the fruit, adding balance and richness—good volume and persistence with great finessed bubbles.Pairing: Soft French cheeses, baked brie, fresh mozzarella, and peaches with roasted poultry. Any fresh produce with fines herbs and olive oil served with baguette and butter. Seafood/shellfish also work well here, especially lighter preparations, like slow-poached fish, moules frites, or moules mariniere. Other pairing ideas include serving this with smoked salmon and cream cheese, butternut squash and goat cheese galette, crab cakes and coconut shrimp (check out the recipe below).
