PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Belaire Luxe Rosé is excellent as a chilled aperitif, with or without ice and fresh fruit, and pairs well with cheeses and desserts.

WINEMAKING:
Belair Luxe Rosé is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault with an exquisite dosage of oak-aged Syrah.   It epitomizes the qualities that have made their wines so popular: classic taste, superb drinkability, striking and stylish packaging.  Luxe Rosé is bottled with a crystal-clear bottle that showcases the beautiful deep pink color of the wine, which comes from a slightly different grape blend than their classic Belaire Rosé.  Embossed foil labels and the eye-catching metallic pink lettering creates a stunning bottle. It’s an extraordinary wine from grape to glass, tailor-made to please crowds, anytime of the year.

WINERY NOTES:
Belaire Brut Gold, crafted in the heart of Burgundy from a blend of handpicked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, is stunning inside and out. For the dosage, organic sugarcane is used, bringing structure and length to the wine, and recreating a style popularized in the Années folles – France’s 1920s artistic and cultural renaissance. A crystal clear glass bottle showcases the golden cuvée within, while minutely-detailed, embossed foil labels complete a gorgeous package that invites the touch as well as the taste.

ABOUT THE WINERY:
Luc Belaire wines are crafted by their 5th and 6th generation father and son winemakers at their 120-year old maison, where ancestral winemaking traditions are alive in each bottle.  Wineries are located in Burgundy and Provence, two of the world’s most respected and historic winemaking regions.
