The Crémant de Die Rhône Brut (36 months) - Carod Frères represents a refined and distinctive expression of viticulture in the Rhône region. Produced by the renowned Carod Frères winery, this Crémant de Die is made following rigorous traditional methods, similar to those used in Champagne.

With an extended maturation of 36 months on the yeast, this sparkling wine acquires a complex and harmonious character. The color is a bright straw yellow with lively reflections, while the fine and persistent bubbles elegantly dance in the glass, promising an exhilarating tasting experience.

On the nose, the Crémant de Die Rhône Brut opens with intense aromas of white-fleshed fruit such as peaches and pears, enriched by hints of brioche and toasted almond, thanks to the evolution from the long stay on the yeast. These aromatic notes lend a complexity that seduces and invites tasting.

On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, maintaining an impeccable balance between acidity and creaminess. The structure is elegant and well-defined, with a palate that picks up the fruity notes perceived on the nose, enriched by a delicate minerality and a subtle hint of toasted bread.

This Crémant is ideal as an aperitif, but has the structure and complexity to accompany a variety of dishes, from light appetizers to seafood and fish dishes. It is also an excellent companion for celebrating special occasions, offering a sophisticated and memorable alternative to more traditional sparkling wines.

The Crémant de Die Rhône Brut by Carod Frères is thus a prestigious choice for sparkling wine lovers seeking something unique and distinctive, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a moment of pure elegance.
