NV Lelievre Brut Rose Eveques Leucquois

From: Lorraine, France (in between Alsace and Champagne) Varietal: Gamay Tasting Notes: This is sparkling Gamay Noir, with bright red raspberry fruit, wild strawberry, rose water and a dry, herbal finish. Crushably tasty, and an extreme value for biodynamic pink fizz. Pairing: Quiche Lorraine! You’re solidly in quiche country, so pair away with all the egg-y and pastry dishes to your hearts content. Café Campagne makes a beautiful Dungeness Crab Quiche when they’re open for take-out, and if making a whole Quiche feels daunting, a French rolled Omelet works beautifully as well. The Lelièvre domaine was founded in the town of Lucy in the Côtes de Toul in 1971 after Jean Lelièvre decided to vinify and bottle the family’s grapes instead of selling them to neighboring winemakers. The family farms Auxerrois, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, producing three still wines and one sparkling wine. The domaine is now operated by brothers, Vincent and David Lelièvre whose passion for the Côtes de Toul appell
