Few bottles of this utterly singular brut make it past France’s
borders, but if we had it our way, the world should toast with a glass
every night. Vibrant and refreshing, this 100% Mauzac wine made bubbly

mouthful of effervescent lemon gelato, combined with toasty notes and a
hint of licorice. Very unique and a steal for the price.
