Gala Red Sparkling 2005

Brut, Champagne - Past • Present • Future

For the celebratory occasions in life: anniversaries, birthdays, promotions – or the simple joie de vivre – there is no better way to highlight these exceptional instances than with a bottle of bubbles.

Pale yellow color. This 2005 vintage Champagne glistens with a golden reflection as bubbles dance up the middle of the glass and in a complex year with a hard winter, this particular vintage thrived in optimal conditions before the harvest making a significant and high-quality wine. The complex nose is fruity, gourmet, and filled with white fruit notes. Citrus and ripe fruits of mirabelle plum provide beautiful structure to delight the palate sip after sip.

After initial separate fermentation, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were blended to highlight elegant flavors and subtle oak notes.
