Sparkling Wine, Champagne, Sauv Blanc or Tequila? Moet Hennessy Selections For Valentine’s Day
What are you drinking this week? We’ll have a pick from Good Wine Gal for the week, or course but we’re also going to give you a few other suggestions for Valentine’s Day from Moet and Hennessy. How about a vibrant sparkling brut wine from Chandon, or an exceptional rosé from Veuve Clicquot, a fresh and fruity Sauvignon Blanc from Cloudy Bay or a fresh libation by Volcán di mi Tierra? Moët Hennessy offers champagne, spirits and wines to complement any of life’s moments, like Valentine’s Day
Chandon Brut – $31.70
Crisp, fresh and effortlessly cool, Chandon Brut is your go-to choice bubbly for entertaining, sipping and gifting. A classic expression of our California vineyards, signature green apple, pear and citrus notes precede a soft, dry finish.
Entertaining tip: Looking for a classic sparkling wine to share this Valentine’s Day? Serve Chandon Brut with salty, creamy or nutty foods, such as Caesar salad, fried calamari, oysters, fresh sashimi or sushi.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019 – $35.95
Immediately expressive in the glass, with notes of bright, ripe citrus, kaffir lime, passionfruit and white peach in this Cloudy Bay Sauv Blanc. The palate is vibrant and mouth-watering with concentrated, juicy tropical notes melding with zesty citrus, stone fruits and subtle notes of orchard blossom. It’s underpinned by a lively grapefruit acidity, carrying the intense fruit characters through to an impressively long finish. Thanks Moet and Hennessy.
Entertaining tip: Foods like keta salmon maki or asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette pair well with this Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc – an exceptional wine for a romantic dinner for two.
Veuve Clicquot Rosé – $91.60
Experience aromas of red fruit and citrus with the Veuve Clicquot Rosé. The palate is extra-dry with medium body and flavours of fresh strawberry, cherry and a touch of biscuit on the finish. Moet and Hennessy.
Entertaining tip: When serving Veuve Clicquot Rosé to your special someone, have foods like tuna, beef carpaccio, duck, sundried tomatoes or red fruits to make the perfect pairing.
Volcán Blanco – $76.95
An expression of our terroir, Tequila Blanco blends its herbal, citrus, and spice notes indicative of the lowlands with fruit notes of cherry, pear, and peach from the highlands.
Entertaining tip: If you’re having a romantic night in or hosting a friends gathering, use Volcán Blanco to create refreshing cocktails at home.
