Domaine Achard Vincent, Clairette de Die, ‘Tradition’ NV

Domaine Achard Vincent

Retail Price: $24

Tasting Notes: This is a fantastic sparkling summertime sipper that comes from a little-known corner of the Rhone and is raised bio-dynamically. Wonderfully fresh and vibrant, it lures you in with loads of ripe peache, brused pear and honeysuckle. Here, the sweetness is balanced by fine acidity, a chalky minerality and just the right amount of bubbles.
