Mumm
Joyesse
We all love Champagne and most of us like sweet things.
Mumm has combined both concepts and some joie de vivre
in this brand-new demi-sec offering. The dominance of
Pinot Meunier from the Marne Valley packs in the fruitiness,
next is Pinot Noir for body and deeper color and Chardonnay
for elegance. A sugar infused liqueur d' expedition
from aged wines gives the blend its true identity. Best
served with dessert, you can also apply it with foie
gras preparations or use it to cut through spicy Asian
dishes. $36 |
