Let’s start in grace with this prestigious sparkling wine of which Nathalie and Emmanuel Grand can be proud, as well as of their predecessors, in this family estate founded in 1692. The Jura shines here with this Crémant in organic conversion from Chardonnay, from high aerobatics. Magnificent flavours of orchard fruits, white flowers, almond croissants, all carried by fine bubbles and all in freshness. A delight to start the aperitif or as a starter, the apotheosis with smoked salmon or gravlax, roast poultry, veal tenderloin; the guests will certainly be satisfied. Inexhaustible.

Get away from it all and let yourself be charmed by the DOC Sicilia, a wine that radiates yellow apples, Meyer lemon and pink grapefruit, wild flowers (from which the name is taken), with fresh acidity, depth, a mineral aspect (volcanic); what length in the mouth! A delight with Mediterranean or vegetarian meals, or grilled pork. Masterful.
