TASTING NOTES:
“It has a golden color and a balance of citrus fruit and minerality give this wine a fresh, elegant nose. Powerful and fruity on the palate with delicate pear and chalk aromas leading to an elegant finish. This Family Reserve Brut Champagne leaves a wonderful feeling of volume, fullness and freshness on the palate.” (AbV 10-12%)

BARRELS:
“Vinification mostly takes place in stainless steel vats, but where necessary, some wines spend time in oak to acquire that wonderful fullness that oak barrels provide.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
So Casanova was kind of a creep. Like, the guy is synonymous with womanizer at this point, but let’s dive in a little.

First thing’s first, he preferred his trysts to have a four act structure. Yeah, you read that right. Just like a play. First he discovers a woman, then he rescues her somehow, then they have a short affair, and then he leaves with an “it’s not you, it’s me.”

Guy also valued “intelligence” in women but not “education.” Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was the 19th century, but here’s the kicker.

When he was 40, he bought a 12-year-old sex slave in St. Petersburg.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
White meats.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Soap to wash the bad taste of Casanova’s sordid history out of your mouth before drinking the infinitely superior Champagne Vieille France Brut.
