La Crotta de Vegneron Refrain Quatremillemètres Dry
Refrain sparkling wine comes from two specific areas: that of Mont Blanc (Morgex and La Salle), and of the Matterhorn (Chambave and Saint-Denis). The vineyards chosen for the production of this wine have different exposures which are most appropriate for producing white grapes with great mineral and aromatic complexity and red grapes deeply rooted in the mountain terroir. The vines are trained in the styles of their land of origin. The objective of the technical team working in the cellar is to transfer all the characteristic features of the area to a wine which has great aromatic complexity and incomparable fragrance: a synthesis of the surrounding alpine environment.

Perlage

Fine and persistent perlage.

Colour

Straw yellow coloured with light copper hues.

Bouquet

Good intensity, sweet and fragrant with white floral notes at first and then with scents of sage, thyme and lavender. The fruited notes are delicate and soft. One can recognize peach, orange and pink grapefruit.

Flavour

In the mid-palate the acidity, due to the vinification in white of the Petit Rouge, tends to prevail slightly, creating citrus notes in the finish.

Pairing

Aperitif wine to pair with fried vegetables.
