The estate was created in 1859 by Léonce Bocquet, then the sole owner of Château du Clos Vougeot, one of Burgundy’s most famous Grand Crus.  In 1922, Lucien Gustav Martenot purchased the estate in Savigny-les-Beaune, and it’s been passed down between generations of family.  Their facility is just outside of Beaune.  The fruit for this sparkler comes primarily from Cote Chalonnaise, Beaujolais and Épineuil, with a mix of limestone, clay and granite soils.  This traditional method sparkler sees 12 months on the lees during the 2^nd fermention.  Green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, strawberry, brioche.  HOLIDAY DINNER

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Serve these festive bubbles as a solo aperitif or even mixed into a mouth-watering cocktail with crème de cassis! This sparkler will also complement fresh fall-inspired salads topped with roasted butternut squash and toasted pecans; creamy Gorgonzola, Prosciutto and pear bruschetta; crispy ham croquettes; and freshly shucked oysters to Thai noodle chicken salad; smoked salmon omelette with mesclun salad; and even fruity but not-too-sweet desserts like strawberry shortcake. Or simply savor these bubbles with a sliver of buttery triple-creme cheese, fresh Chèvre and bloomy rinds like Camembert, Chaource and Buche de Chevre.
