This Weekend's Wine Feature



Têtes à Claques
Sparkling Rosé
Loire Valley, France

Tête à Claques, in a literal sense, means ‘a head to slap.’ 

This is a fun wine made of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Chardonnay.  It is made in the ancestral method, meaning that the bubbles form naturally in the bottle because they bottle the wine before the fermentation is finished.

Invigorated with fresh strawberry and raspberry flavor, this wine has a touch of sweetness, and a lot of flavor.  The Cabernet Franc lingers with just a pinch of spice. 

Pair this wine with prosciutto, grilled fish with balsamic sauce, and barbeque.

All grapes used for this wine are biodynamically farmed and are fully organic.

This might be the last time you get to try this wine in Kansas, as it is no longer being imported!
